Reece, looking good!
But damn, you've opened up a can of worms here, I got to go and get some football/rugby socks now! These type of socks although not formal attire may well be ok for casual wear.

I guess it takes a native to point out these are Rugby socks! Now I can get them even cheaper. They are very supportive. Now I know why.

Cheap is good especially if the quality is there, and I know these socks will last for years.
BTW since my last post I ordered some black ones!
Looking good doing your own thing, cheers mate.

I wore my kilt to a church men's function about two years ago. Pastor joked and hinted but basically asked me not to wear it again. What kind of Church do you attend? I want to sign up.

For what it's worth, I'm an Orthodox Priest - NO ONE is more conservative than us, and I can tell you without a doubt...

Kilts are welcome.

Come any time.

Time to move on!

I am the minister of music at a Missouri Synod Lutheran Church. They are "conservative," but in the "Jewish" sense (i.e., liturgically not dogmatically).

Certainly this didn't happen at a Presbyterian one...

When I was a boy (it was the mention of the Presbyterian Church and your picture of Y Ddraig Goch that reminded me), at the kirk we went to (strangely in South Wales) virtually all of the congreagtion were Gaelic speaking and often "Sunday Best" meant the kilt.

I remember a cousin and I sitting on a wall outside after the service waiting for our Grandfather (one of the Elders) and being talked to by some old bloke (he was probably all of 40 at the time!) - it was the earliest phrase I consciously remember as being in a different language from the one the kids in school used - Dè mar a tha sibh an-diugh, Alasdair, A Dhaibhidh? ("How are you today, Alexander, David?"). There was nothing unusual about the kilt in church there.

And many years later (about 10 years ago now), I went to the funeral of an old friend of mine at Aros on Mull. It was an Episcopalian Church (he'd been a piskie): all the men were wearing the kilt, and the ladies in tartan skirts. A piper played a lament as the coffin was lowered into the grave. It was very evocative.
