I just realized who the author is... the life partner of a customer of ours locally here in PA.

It still sounds like a member of Xmarks wrote the article though!

Yes indeed, a brilliant piece of Public Relations for the kilt.

One reservation I would have is this line: "And I applaud men like Mr. Andrews -- and Kanye West, Nathan Fillion, Ashton Kutcher, Alan Cumming and Gerard Butler -- who are opening up men's options one kilt at a time." At least one of the individuals here have had pictures posted in garments that are debatable as to whether it was a kilt. I do not wish to rehash that argument but just feel that something portrayed as a kilt that is too extreme can have a negative effect. It connotes a negative that fence sitters and guys debating whether to get a kilt would be put off by. BTW, I really did like Alan Cummings kilt ensemble when he was awarded his OBE (I believe that was the honor he received).

Well written article. We need more of these.

Well stated.

The second-to-last paragraph is a bit superfluous but, otherwise, the tone of the article is a supportive statement about the wearing of a kilt.
