I was recently measured up for my first Kilt (Gunn 9yd 16oz Strome) at Alex Scott in Aberdeen.

My ever-patient wife (who sat waiting while we discussed options) said that she noticed that all the men who came into the shop and tried kilts on (about 4 or 5 people) stood differently when they had a kilt on.

She described it as 'filling the space differently' and she said that she thought that both they and I looked happier when kilted.

Does this resonate with anyone? Do we stand differently when kilt-clad? It certainly made me feel happier.
