It's always nice to wear the kilt, but I always get an extra kick out of wearing the whole rig to formal events.

I've got a convention next weekend, with a formal banquet. I'll be wearing the kilt with my Prince Charlie jacket and vest, my fly plaid, ghillie brogues and, for the first time, my new dirk.

I know the dirk is over the top, but I don't care. Maybe I'll cut my steak with it, just for show. I'll be the only kilted guy in the whole room, as far as I know.

I love that stuff.
