For me, the kilt is merely another choice. I love my tartan kilts as much as I love my Utilikilt. For that matter, I also love my p@nts, blue jeans, golf slacks, jogging suit, shorts, sarongs, and dhoti, all of which have a place in my closet and in what I choose to wear.

Life without variety would be a bit dull, and my wardrobe reflects that feeling. If I ever have money again, someday (maybe by the year 2020), I would love to get a second modern kilt. I really like my UK original in tan, but I would also like to get a black one (although I doubt it will be another UK -- there are so many other awesome modern kiltmakers out there). Anyway, I digress.

Whatever rattles yer chain, mate. If you want to preserve kilt-wearing for special occasions, that's up to you... For me, I prefer to lounge around the house and often tool around town in one of my non-kilt UBGs. (The comfort and warmth/coolness level of a Sri Lankan sarong is almost perfect for Japanese summer evenings). By contrast, I probably will not relax in my living room in a kilt for the simple reason that I always end up getting it all crunched and I beat the heck out of my pleats.
