    Talking in Washington Post Magazine March 13

    "Pants are for wimps: Formal or casual, kilts aren't just for parades"
    Side-by-side comparison of a modern and traditional kilt, modeled by Brad Hutchins, owner of Alexandria, VA shop Kilted Nation (soon to close and go online only, according to the brief article). Nice photos and details pointed out.

    Interesting and brief article. I would imagine no one approaches him with snide comments. Even in his smile, he looks like he is about to kill the photographer.

    A friend sent me a cell phone pic of that article the other day. Thanks for posting the actual link. I'm starting spring break and looking forward to 2 fully kilted weeks off.

    You would never know what a nice guy Brad really is from the pictures, that's
    for sure.

    Sadly, Brad's store in Alexandria had to close due to the deteriorating economic conditions. His online business is still going though.
