Do any of you do casual kilt or full dress?

I'm a blue jeans, Nike training shoes and t-shirt kind of guy. I work in IT at a University in California so nobody bats an eye when I do this. As I've been at this kilt thing for most of a decade now, and since it pains me to ruin clothes, especially if I made them myself, I don't wear my nice wool jobs out for backpacking or doing the Heavy events at the Games.

When backpacking I might wear a tartan polyester-viscose 4-yard kilt, or a camouflage cotton-poylester job that closes with velcro. I don't usually practice the heavy events in a kilt, but at the Games I have a Clan polyester-viscose kilt that works for me and sheds sweat, pine-tar and chalk in the wash.

At the San Francisco Symphony or Burns Night I might wear a nice wool tartan kilt with a more modern-styled navy blue kilt jacket and waistcoat, with hand-knit hose. At work I might wear that same wool kilt with running shoes, hose, a button-down work shirt, and a belt and sporran.

This is all a rather lot of kit, but it's been fun acquiring it.
