    Sounds like the exact conversion I had. Started at this past years Highland Games in Dunedin, Florida. Came home and began wearing the kilt from time to time, mostly after gym time. Then I purchased one from Stillwater. SOon I was wearing them on the weekends nonstop. Then purchased another from Stillwater. By then I was wearing it everyday after the gym in the evenings. Now I have four kilts total, and looking at more. I'm wondering how I will get everyone into rotation once I purchase all the tartans I want.

    3rd week found me owning 4 kilts and wearing them twice to work and every other day at home

    4th week has finished and I now own 5 kilts

    <receiving my award and walking to the mike>

    Thanks guys!

    I would like to thank my wife, my sponsors, my boss and coworkers and specially XMTS.

    Without their support I could not be a fulltime kiltie.

    And thanks to the academy members!

    <walking off the stage>

    Seriously now, it took me by surprise how quickly the transformation went, as I never intended to wear my kilts daily...but what can you do, the kilt wins every time.

    Everybody now..."Willy Wallace called it FREEEEDOOOOMMM!'

    I started out wearing them just to work in the shop (I work for myself, at home, making blades, so I'm the only one to say)

    It took me a while to get comfortable in public, but now I pretty much wear a kilt everywhere all the time out and about. Unless there is some specific reason not to, which is seldom in my life. I did not adapt as quickly as you have though, I am impressed. There has been very little negative feedback from anyone who matters in my life. My wife and kids adjusted to it very easily. Sounds like things are going well for you too.

    Congratulations Hector, and welcome to the free world of the full time rabble.

    Can't say that i wear a kilt all the time-Well i don't wear them to bed (Yet)

    If im in for the night im usally in a long teeshirt-no need to worry about pleats-and i can relax.
    However when im going out i never give a second thought about wearing anything but a kilt.
