Places NOT to wear a kilt!

[Alan H]

My own short list.

1. sailing....no kilts on the foredeck, please!

2. the weight room. I do a lot of these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4-vR4QNyQc

for lower abdominals strength. Core strength is important for throwing at the Games. I also do a lot of inclined sit ups. However, talk about "flashing"! NOT....no kilt in the weight room!

3. the swimming pool.

Aside from that, I am pretty comfortable with wearing a kilt in any other venue that's a regular occurrance for me.

What's your list?

4. any ride or roller coaster with the leg area open.

I'd have to add:

-Rock Wall Climbing

-Competing in Gymnastics

-Skydiving

-Bungee Jumping

-Normally while Riding a Motorcycle. (I have seen pictures of people do this, and some are able to with little effort, but I would fear it to be a little risky)

Unless you have a Utilikilt with modesty snaps "Uncle" Otto once told me Steve Villegas rode his motorcycle to work kilted most days.

Even with modesty straps I would not do it, just like I've never rode in shorts I would not do it in a kilt either, if you've ever seen a bad case of road rash you'd know why.

Excellent point! I was only thinking of modesty, not safety

1. A knee-length skirt with deep pleats, usually of a tartan wool,worn as part of the dress for men in the Scottish Highlands.

2. A similar skirt worn by women, girls, and boys.

1,NO SUCH THING AS TARTAN WOOL,SCOTS WEAR KILTS NOT JUST HIGHLANDERS

2, Scottish women dont wear kilts they wore frocks

OK, its a dictionary definition (though I'm not sure exactly which dictionary) not a statement of opinion about kilts. Of course it is imperfect, virtually all definitions are flawed.

Second, that was in a signature and has nothing to do with this thread. If you want discuss the definition of the kilt (something which tends to lead to nothing but trouble) you would be better off doing it in a new thread.

Third, please don't shout. It just makes you look angry and impolite, especially when you start with "you haven't a clue."

Fourth, traditional kilts are usually made from material with a tartan pattern of some kind, and traditionally, they were made out of wool. Wool with a tartan pattern: Tartan wool. I don't see the problem here.

Fifth, Americans wear kilts. Canadians wear kilts. Germans wear kilts. So do Kenyans, Colombians and Cambodians. We aren't talking about who wears them, but who wore them traditionally. The kilt originated in the highlands of Scotland, back when the highlands and lowlands were practically different countries with distinct cultures. As such, even though the kilt is the national dress of Scotland, it is entirely appropriate to refer to it as part of highland dress and highland tradition and highland culture.

Sixth, the second line isn't saying that Scottish women wear or traditionally wore kilts (though some do). I believe it is referring to the type of skirt that is most commonly seen as part of the basic schoolgirl outfit.

Seventh, since this is completely off topic, I wouldn't be surprised to see this little exchange moved or deleted by a mod. And that would mean I typed all this for nothing

And finally:





And back on topic:

I would not wear a kilt in a vacuum, a wind tunnel, or while showering.

Kilts and chest waders (required the water gets cold and deep quickly)do NOT work and play well together!!!!

I never thought of that, but that's cause I never wear chest waders any more. Good point!
