My First Unbiforcated Outting

[Fat Irish]

The wife and I went to SeaWorld this past weekend and I decided to my it my first kilted outting. Please be nice about not wearing a proper shirt or sporran. It was 102 degrees in San Antonio humidity. I decided sans sporran was the best plan whilst trying to negotiate roller-coasters and aquatic animalia! If anyone is wondering, it is a Clergy tartan.

you pulled it off nicely. By the way your wife pulls off biforcated equally nicely. congratulation you're a lucky man. A kilt and a pretty wife. What more can you ask for. (I should know I have both also)

So, where'd you put your stuff?

@ grizzbass- in the interest of full disclosure, the woman in the picture is not my wife, she's one of the animal trainers in the Shamu show, however my wife is a very beautiful woman too. She is the one taking the picture. Thank you for the kind words.

@Riverkilt- I know you dont care for them, but the flap pocket in the apron was perfect for my ID, CC, and a bit of folding money. That's all I brought with me, so it worked out fine. You can't ccw in an amusement park in Texas (not sure about other states) so there was no need to carry my pistola or chl.

I think you're looking good. I like kilts both dressed down and dressed up. They are just another garment. I must day, though, that I prefer a sporran, even on hot days, just for convenience.

The important thing is, you wore the kilt and that alone makes the look good. Don't worry about how it was accessorized. Others don't realize the challenge it is to wear a kilt when the temperatures are over 100 and one is dealing with sun and humidity.

You pulled it off quite well.
Enjoy the addiction.

An essential accessory to the kilt is a big smile. I didn't notice the lack of a sporran. That is not a necessity unless you need it. A shoulder bag or a backpack - even a 'fanny pack' is quite as good. Looking good!

So a new development...I made my first kilted trip to work today, but this time sporran-ed and more appropriately bloused. (I know, I know...no pics=didnt happen). My department head (I'm a teacher and on a new campus) saw me and asked if I planned on helping out with the Kilt Society. After a bit of shock, he explained that 2-3 of the other faculty also enjoy kilts and Celtic culture and started a Kilted Society on campus and since then several students had joined and now they are an official club on campus. How freakin' sweet is that? Once the students return I shall have a pic of us all and post.

The kilties come out of the woodword don't they?? That's a terrific development. Keep us posted.
