thread digression: malkin - so what would your national costume be?
I ponder buying one every now and then, but they're traditionally supposed to be regional, i.e. don't wear one you don't have a family connection to. And the one associated with where I grew up is just so darn ugly. There's a nice one, modern, not traditional, made recently for Oslo, but it sort of defeats the old-fashioned aspect of it all. And they cost an arm and a leg whatever you buy.

Not having a suitable national identity is pretty much the problem that keeps me away from a national costume!
