Or competing in the highland games. We were told it was for the children's safety ;)

P.S. I love the UnderArmor briefs.

Hmmm, I say don't give the trouser tyrants any ammunition. On a totally unrelated note, my wearing the kilt to a friends wedding has led to a wave of positive support from mutual friends of the couple and our peers at school. There is some joking about wearing "a skirt" but it is all in good fun. I soon plan to wear kilts on a regular occasion.

What's between a man and his kilt is between a man and his kilt. So it shouldn't matter either way. Besides, God sees all regardless of the number of layers.

You must be careful of what type of church you're going into with a Kilt in the first place. There are churches that won't allow a Kilt regimental or no and that God cannot get into either. :-(

RUBBISH, I've never heard of any church barring a man in a kilt. Most I have been to welcome the sight of a kilted man.
In the UK, even princes and kings have attended church.

Of course, I refer to a proper kilt, well worn and in a respectable manner, not some tosser in a womans' skirt trying to make some kind of wacky statement in the house of God.

Please check your facts before making wild statements.

And that is a wonderful thing. Your corner of the world sounds like a great place then.

However, there are plenty of churches in the US that would most assuredly turn away a man who showed up in any unbifurcated garment. Is that awful? Absolutely. Does that make the "Christian" church in question hypocritical? Absolutely. Does that mean such situations are fictional? Unfortunately no.

Ian, I did stress "kilt", not something that looks like a womans' skirt, that would be controversial in ANY institution whether it be a church, the workplace etc.
The tartan kilt is without question regarded as a male garment all around the world.
I would ask you for an example of a specific church that has barred you wearing such a garment there.
I would happily speak to them on your behalf at my own expense.

From the last two years of being on this site, and learning of all the various experiences of men in kilts who have shared here, one thing I have learned....
Tasmania is a great place to live, but when it comes to attitudes and responses to kiltwearing...I don't think it is so different.
