Well, as I've stated before, I first purchased my Henderson Ancient a few weeks ago. And my fiance will not let me wear it until the wedding (two weeks away now btw ) So, I did what anyone would do. I bought ANOTHER kilt... hahaha. I posted a quick picture of myself in it (SWK Nightstalker) a few days ago. Well, I wore it ever so briefly a couple of nights ago to the convenience store.

I can't wear my kilt to work. Not because my employer is "anti-kilt." Because I'm required, due to obvious safety reasons, to have my legs fully covered. I'm a laboratory technician. Even if I could wear a kilt to work, something tells me the kilt wouldn't look it's best paired with a long lab coat!

So, today was my first day off since the kilt's arrival. I decided, regardless of my wee bit of nervousness, to wear it all day. So, I paired my SWK Nightstalker with a plain black polo, black crew socks (pushed down,) and an old (though only very slightly used) pair of combat boots. Off I went.

The day started with a trip to the local news paper to drop off our engagement announcement and picture to run in the Sunday paper. While there, everyone stared, but nobody said a thing. As I left, a man walking out at the same time said "hey that's kinda cool!" I replied with a nod and a "thank you."

The day proceeded to a quick 30 minute drive with Nikki (my fiance) to the county courthouse to get the marriage license. Amazingly again, nobody said a word. I like that After returning home, I went over to Hobby Lobby in search of some art supplies. A gaggle of little girls smiled and stared. Well, actually everyone stared... . I'm figuring out quickly this is probably about the most that happens.

The day ended with dinner at Applebee's. The hostess asked where I bought my kilt. I told her I ordered it from a kiltmaker. Simple enough. It seemed every eye in the restaraunt turned as the hostess seated us. One fellow asked what size my ear lobes were stretched to. But, nothing about the kilt. If most days are like this, I'll be more than happy. I was a little uneasy about the thought of constant barrage over my attire. But, I see that my assumptions just weren't accurate. That's definately a good thing.

Just thought I'd share my first day as a kilted man.
