All good points, thanks. Blu I love the Akubra thought, although it takes more guts to wear a kilt than an Akubra (at least in this country).

WEaring a kilt requires a measure of self confidence, my son is young, I'm over 50 and don't care any more what folk think.

I guess we have to have a good reason to swim against the tide and wear a kilt.

My reasons would be the identification with celtic things.
Comfort and health, and the wonderful feeling of freedom, grace, and masculinity.
heck I took up Scottish dancing mostly because I LOVE the feeling of swirling around in a kilt.

Speaking of that,... tonight at dance practice I slipped on the smooth floor, legs went up, kilt went flying and all the lasses finally discovered the secret of the ages.
Let me just say that I was not disgraced too much


I guess the right time has to come in our lives for major change to be accepted.
My son will have his time come, I can only encourage him.
enuff rambling on, thanks for listening.
