Seven days in a kilt...

[MikeC]

Prior to 2020, i would occasionally wear a kilt on a Saturday or Sunday, when going out for lunch, bar, or local festival of some kind. I live in an area where its not uncommon to see someone where a kilt at the local art festival, and we do have a highland games and celtic music festival. A couple weeks after being sent home in March 2020, i started wearing kilts almost daily. At the time i had 5 kilts - 2 wool, 1 PV and 2 acrylic. I have since dispatched the PV and acrylic, and now have 9 wool kilts ( 4 5yrd, and 5 8yrd ). All but one are off the shelf, the other is custom. i dont wear them every day, but 5 of 7 days certainly. I dont do dirty work in them, i am an IT mouse jockey, so i sit in my office most of the day. I think wearing them daily has also helped with my comfort going out to the store in them. I now get comments when i dont wear them. Kilts have all kinds of meaning for all kinds of people. While i have Scottish DNA, I was adopted and raised Irish. So for me its a little nod to my roots, but mostly its fun. I have gotten to meet and chat with a lot of people, less so in 2020, but i also go out less.
