Wearing the One Button Suit

Synopsis

Why are so many Scots throwing off their clothes in wild abandon to embrace the mad midges and chilly climates of Scotland? Because it's liberating! These bodies wrinkled or smooth, plump or slender just want to be free to breathe in the open air. The last taboo has been broken and old fashioned 'textiles' will have to like it or lump it.
