UK mentioned in Stars & Stripes

[Monkey@Arms]

This first person travel article about a weekend vacation trip to Scotland by a U.S. soldier serving in Germany (he slept in his rental car 2 out of 3 nights) ends with these observations:

One last note on Scotland: I broke in my kilt while there, as it only seemed fitting, and from my interactions with the locals, I have learned a few things regarding this e’er-comfy garment. One: A tartan is a kilt with clan or county colors (the latter is more common with the Irish). What I wore is simply a kilt (and an American version to boot, from www.utilikilts.com). Two: While this attire is far more comfortable than the bifurcated alternative (i.e. pants), Scots generally wear tartans only at formal and/or familial events these days. However, point three: Kilts are still cool as casual wear if ya got the legs to pull it off.

While we might quibble with the details, it's still a positive showing, and apparently the print version of the article had a picture of the author wearing his UK.

Yeah, well, for the lucky few - legs can pull it off - or, bask in the knowledge you've a garment few men, legs or no, have the courage to wear... and you look really great wearing it!
