My kilt program

[KiltedBrewer]

I realized the other day that I now own three kilts (SWK standard McLaren, khaki Sportkilt, and an X-kilt) and I rarely wear them. Not because I'm nervous or anything, I just never think of them. So to give my kilts the prominent place they deserve in my wardrobe, I'm going kilted at least one day a week from here on out.

I'm sure lots of other people have done similar things, but I've never heard of them and I thought that this may give other infrequent kilters an idea.

Today was my first kilt day so I strapped on my SWK and headed out. I had three notable comments.

The first was from the bank teller. She asked, "What are you doing in your kilt today?" I've never been asked that and I wasn't quite sure how to answer. I mumbled out, "Going to the bank and some other errands." I didn't mean to be rude, but I didn't expect that question.

Second, I was at the library and a woman came up to me to say, "I never thought a man could wear a skirt and make it look so masculine." I was so flattered that I didn't bother to tell her that it's a kilt.

The third comment was really odd. I was at a store that sells bulk herbs and spices. A lady walked over to me and said she couldn't believe I'd wear a kilt on such a cold day. (It was 17F here with windchills in the single digits.) Before I could answer, she launched into a rant about nylons and how it had to be a man who invented them. Women have to wear them and they're too expensive and they run the first time you wear them and they're uncomfortable and you'll never see a man having to wear them. I was speechless as she left the store still railing against nylons. Yikes!

All in all it was a good first weekly kilt day. I hope this idea may help others wear their kilts more!
