Kiltless Arizona

[Norm]

I been going out and about in my utility kilts for quite some time now. My wife and I go on walks, I go to the store and post office and over the last couple years we have driven down to Phoenix going to malls, oriental food stores, stopping at gas stations and convenience stores along the way, all the time whilst wearing my kilt and being really comfortable in the process. No sitting on my wallet, no bunching up of my down-yonder equipment, and just enjoying the freedom and comfort that a kilt affords, especially when the temperatures were up to 118 degrees this last weekend in Phoenix. Nearly all of the comments I get are positive; one lady who came to my wife's birthday party just up and told me she really, really thinks it is good for me to wear my kilt.

But for all the positives, the one thing that puts a bit of damper on it all is that in all those travels, goings about, to Phoenix and Flagstaff and other places in the last year, I have never seen another guy wearing a kilt (Phoenix highland games doesn't count). Not one. Several years ago I saw someone in Costco wearing one, and also at an Angry Crab restaurant. But basically speaking, I feel like I am the only one. Why don't more men wear them? I also have shoulder length hair, but at least you see some other guys with pony tails here and there, so I don't feel like an oddball in that way. At the mall down there I saw a jillion and one guys wearing cargo shorts of every description, but not a single kilt. You'd think in that kind of climate, SOMEONE would have gone the kilt route. I kept my eyes open; all I saw were cargo shorts. I love wearing kilts, but not too crazy being the only brown tribble in a football field full of white ones. Anyone else had this experience?
