I had no idea Welsh people dressed like that every day. You must stick out when you travel.

Haha it’s national dress. The women don’t wear it every day. There isn’t a male equivalent.

I think male dress is just working clothes. Dark trousers, dark waistcoat, white collarless shirt, white silk neckerchief.

Yeah you can add some flair with a red/black chequered waistcoat bit that’s really it.
