Salutations from Los Angeles

**TheeBooch** · 18th August 21, 07:58 AM

Hi there everybody

I started wearing kilts a few weeks ago. wow. what a game changer! I am in Los Angeles where it can get to be a bit too hot for my own liking. Beside the obvious comfort, my red beard yearns to be in a kilt and I am happy I have made the switch! few things about me:

I am a Norse Pagan, I renounced being a Krisjan years ago and haven't looked back. I look to the Allfather and the gods for guidance and wisdom on all my journeys.
I am an Actor, I know everyone in Los Angeles says that, but I have actually been in some great productions.
I am a Real Estate agent. wanna buy a house? Lets talk! hahaha

The first time I went out in public in LA wearing a kilt, I felt free, proud, and my ancestors were smiling upon me. maybe they were laughing, who knows, but I could sense they were smiling. I picked up some pizza from Dominos. Did I receive a few looks? Sure. Its LA. No one wears kilts here. Did I care? Heck no.

Anyone who wishes to wear a kilt should embrace it. I know I have.
Any recommendations on good Kilts will be gladly accepted. I see a lot on amazon but you know.... Amazon....

Hi, and a warm welcome, from another newbie, in this game!
Also wearing the hammer, being a Dane, of north atlantic (mostly Norse (norwegian/danish) decendance)
Can only agree. Wearing a kilt surely give that little extra...

As to help with a good kilt, there's several kiltmakers in the US. Some are active in here. Some are sponsors as well...

As to getting inspired, You'll just have to Ooze around.
There's loads of info in here.

Welcome from a Scotsman living in the English Midlands. Agree with your outlook on kilt-wearing. Unfortunately, we wife thinks it's too conspicuous south of the Scottish border. Will be in Scotland later in the year, and am looking forward to a kilted week!

I live in Lancashire and wear a kilt most of the time. If I don't, people ask why. I usually tell them that I'm in disguise.

I wear a kilt almost constantly and while I have gotten sour looks (or maybe the person was having a bad day) the vast majority of people who comment have been very positive. I was in Grand Teton last spring and as I exited a building an older woman behind me (but still younger than me I think) told me how much she love my kilt and as she said that a young attractive woman who was just ahead of me turned and said she really loved it and her boy friend was definitely going to be getting one of those.
