This is admittedly a bit of a side-bar on this discussion but after having read through a whole lot of threads dealing with this sort of thing wherein people are complaining about the comfort of their trousers and jeans, I just gotta ask...

...where the hell do you guys buy your pants?

I've had pants/jeans/trousers that haven't fit as well as they could but I just get rid of them and find some that fit...there's never been that much of a problem with comfort that I would categorically say that I was going to wear the kilt ONLY for the rest of all time.

And part of the way that I have defused the whole thing has been to wear the kilt now and then and wear the trousers now and then so that it is obvious that the kilt is a part of my wardrobe and not some kind of "in your face" thing or some kind of a "statement" or an eccentricity; it's just part of what I wear.

Best
