Actually, my first "non-costume" event for wearing a kilt will be my cub scout meeting. As the cubmaster, I have taken to wearing something especially appropriate to our monthly theme: i.e. Cub Scout Roundup - I will be wearing my jeans, cowboy boots, and cowboy hat.

Our November theme is "Our Family Tree", so even though I'm not Scottish, I'm planning to wear a kilt. 1) because it's fun, and 2) it's easily recognizable as a family heritage type item. It will be interesting to see the various reactions. (They shouldn't be too surprised, since they're used to me wearing something unusual. I wore my tuxedo for the 75th Birthday of Scouting event, and made a replica of a race car driver's suit for Pinewood Derby.)

I have a traditional 8 yd, pleated to the stripe, Black Stewart that I made about 11 years ago. Never quite finished it, and now that I've lost weight, I'm taking it in about 6 inches. My other kilt is a great kilt - it's a tartan weave, but I have not been able to identify the tartan.
