How did you ....

[Kiltman]

I first started wearing a kilt in 1977, but then it was for highland games and some walks. My first kilt was made by my wife, and it was a good guess at making a kilt. Since then I've acquired several more kilts. I wear them frequently since I'm presdient of the local St. Andrew's Society and do Scottish Country Dancing. There have been a few occassions on which I did not wear a kilt to a funeral or a wedding and was chastised for not wear one.
There are a few who say they've never seen me not wearing a kilt.

Roughly this is the breakdown of the attitudes towards kilts in my area. Being considered to be the best cook in the area I see most of the people at some point so the percentages are fairly accurate. 10% think they're great, 50% don't even think about it, 30% scratch their heads and try to wrap their brains around the concept that kilts are for men or can be worn for everyday wear, and 10% think i'm a crossdressing homosexual.

The big breakout for me was when i purchased a Victory kilt from USAKilts and people all of a sudden started to see me in a kilt everyday, not just on weekends. I get lots of stares and double takes from tourists, but I don't care what they think.

My Pittsburgh Kilt arrived on Saturday, June 11, 2005. That night I wore it out to a nice restaurant to celebrate my birthday. Other than work, I've worn it everytime I left the house except one.

I suppose you could say it was a sink or swim method since I jumped in with both feet and have not looked back.
