return of traditional kiltwearing?

[OC Richard]

Last weekend was the first time that Southern California's largest Highland Games has happened since 2019.

I know part of it was the weather- on Saturday morning it was damp and cool- but I was struck by the goodly proportion of men wearing traditional Highland Dress.

Tweed kilt jackets were everywhere to be seen, as were traditional wool kilts, and vintage and traditional sporrans.

This is in contrast to the pre-Covid trend I was seeing here of Utilikilts taking over.

I wonder if the same thing has been happening in other places, or if we're an outlier.
