You'll get the hang of what I'm on about in this survey, or here's hoping!, if you don't get it already.

The last time I visited a Jewish cultural center for an event, I was reminded how neat I find shtreimels, a type of furry, round men's hats. I know they may have historical and religious significance (well explained here: https://www.learnreligions.com/what-is-a-shtreimel-2076533) that's, not, so far as I know, pertinent to my heritage, but I simply like their look. Would you be offended to see a non-Jew wear such headwear?

That may depend on how you wear it/...it looks on you/...what you wear with it.

In the international ensemble I'm proposing, for my torso I'd like a colorful dashiki, the pullover of Yoruban origin fitting loosely enough to make for a comfortable work garment. I could care less how they have been radicalized by association with leftists such as the Black Panthers, et al (see https://www.okayafrica.com/history-politics-dashiki/); I like their look. What would you think of a Caucasian man wearing a dashiki?
I'd approve.

Below my waist, I'd ilke to wear a kilt. This piece of Scottish apparel is derided by some as an andogynous or outright feminine skirt for men. but I think they look manly. For the record, I've no idea whether I'm at all Scottish. Do you like how kilts look on guys?

On my feet? Cowboy boots! I'm not liable to be rustling cattle or riding a horse any time soon, but no footwear of more decidedly U.S. origin comes to my mind (see https://buffalojackson.com/blogs/journal/the-history-of-cowboy-boots) . And my pair(s) needn't be fancily crafted from snakeskin nor alligator hide. Bovine leather is fine. Do you like wearing cowboy boots?

Never mind me; do you really want to wear them with a dashiki, kilt and shtreimel?! (Me: Yes, at least theoretically.)

Lastly, because it may rain or get windy, I'd round out my wardrobe with an opera cape. According to this article from the Engilsh Opera Company-https://www.eno.org/discover-opera/the-history-of-the-opera-dress-code/-it's of English origin. And for all I know, I may have that land in my heritage. Regardless of whether you enjoy opera, would you wear a cape designed to be worn attending such a production?

What else would I be wearing?/ What's the weather going to be like?/ Would I be seen with you in your cowboy boots, kilt, dashiki, and shtreimel? (Me: Why not?!)
