How to promote Kilts
Let me start by saying I am not a kilt junky like so many on this board. The only reason I am purchasing a kilt as explained here is for a wedding. That said I have worn medieval T tunics before and found them comfortable and my wife likes how I look in them. I can see my self wearing my kilt occasionally and even looking for occasions to wear them. I guess you could say that I will never give up slacks; I would love the option of wearing a kilt without anyone batting an eye.
That’s a lot of lead up for a relatively simple idea. Consider that there are so many occasions one wear a business suit that you never stop and ask your self why some one is in one, they just are. In order to get more people to wear kilts we need to create more occasions for wearing them.
I think the most obvious occasions would be to church on Sunday. No not that church, I am talking about the real Sunday mass, football. Many football fans don’t bat an eye dropping $100 or more on fan gear, and are happy to wear it on game days and after a game. An added bonus is that most teams already have nice color combinations and logo pins accessorize a kilt readily. The NFL is always on the look out for new merchandising opportunities, and I would love to show up to a Steelers bar wearing the official Steeler tartan kilt, black turtle neck for home games and white turtle neck for away games.
So, what do you think? Will it help? Can it be done? What would it take to do it?
