Why not follow the example of the mighty Celts and wear nothing
- ...nothing but woad and a winning smile.
- Absolutely Barbaric
- My husband wore his family plaid to our wedding and it's the one thing people who were there remember, five years later. Not the "Steel Magnolias" reception theme on which I worked so hard. Not the exquisite chicken piccatta. Not our hired DJ being stoned off his gourd and playing rap during the meal.
No, insufficient pockets.
- That's why you have a sporran as well. Handy bag/pocket with dangly bits. Who doesn't love some dangly bits to scare away your enemies.
  
  Is there some sort of cargo pants equivalent?
- celeste skirt
  
  I don't know what that is
It worked well in combat with blades, but I don't think it works quite well in combat with guns. Plated pants would be more effective, I think, though adding a plated skirt to obfusicate the silhouette of the soldier may be effective as well.
- I know this is a common misconception about the states, but I actually don't have to wear ballistic clothing unless I find myself in Los Angeles for some reason. I'm generally far more concerned with what the weather is doing.
I see kilts on the regular in the PNW. Not every day, but if I leave the house often enough usually a few a month. Plenty of stores specifically for those out here too.
