    Rob from Sydney at Work...

    My 6 yard kilt (Graham of Mentieth) from St Kilda Australia arrived in record time, and it's way better than I had hoped !

    I've been wearing it daily to work - I even have no problem driving it on the scooter up the hill to the station!

    Everybody at work thinks it's really good (with the occasional 'skirt' comment as I expected), and there' been no (percieved) staring or gawking as I travel on the train and the light rail each day.

    I can't believe how comfortable and cool it is! WAY better than trousers. And the ladies are all commenting on how good guys look in kilts ... Hehehehe. (in fact one woman on the train whispered to her husband "I'm going to have to get YOU one of those" )

    I've only one pic at the moment but here it is:



    Cheers,
    Rob.

    Great casual look. Australia needs more kilts! And good on you for liberating your workplace.

    Your must work with some great people. I wish I only got the occasional ‘skirt’ comment. It seems to never end with my co-workers. However, looks great.
