    Boy, some thread!

    No matter what my kilts are called, in what language, the best deal is that if the kilt fashion boom keeps rolling as strong as it has been it won't be too long before those folks our "detectors" find that tease, ridicule, and mock us will be buying and wearing kilts themselves - probably from a combination of peer pressure and common sense.

    Yesterday, I'm walking in downtown Flagstaff, AZ wearing my tan UK Survival for a long road trip. Guy driving by hollars out his window very slowly so he's sure to be understood, "Nice Utilikilt!" Gave him the thumbs up.

    Now, I submit, if there are men in rural towns like Flagstaff, Arizona that recognize Utilikilts by brand name, the kilt revolution is well underway.

    Today was more fun at the conference in Prescott, Arizona. A county public defender, a lady about six feet tall and gorgeous, made it a point to say, "I love your kilt" with a very seductive smile. Was wearing my hand sewn traditional Macdonald Lord of the Isles Hunting from Kathy's Kilts with my Freelander Sporran.

    For all the stupid folks there are moments like these that more than offset the fools.

    Ron, that is outstanding! Congrats on educating your corner of the world and getting support and recognition.

    Yes that perhaps suggests that guys wearing Utilikits should call them that and be proud to call them by the brand.
