What are these things doing to me?

Yeah, I've been thinking about that too. With my first kilt (SWK Black Watch) on the way, I'm wondering what is going to look good with that...

Yes, it's odd how we suddenly begin to take an interest in what to wear. I'm sitting here kilted for the sixth consecutive day (two days at work in my black heavyweight, with tie and jacket and four days off wearing casual kilts with tee-shirts or polo tops.). There are a couple of events next week for which trousers are going to be more practicable and I find myself already planning ahead, which trousers will I wear and which shirts will I team them with.

We need some sort of real time photo Vid hook up where you launch your digital photo here and eveyone who is on line gets a indicator, they click on the icon and the photo pops up. They instantly vote on the ensemble and go back to what they were doing. Real time fashon help for the fasonably handicaped like myself....

You, sir, are a genius.

I completely understand this phenomenon of which you all speak. I, too, have lately found myself in front of the mirror trying on different combinations. Where I once would walk past a men's clothing store with out notice, I now frequently find myself browsing for items that would wear well with the kilt. Just today I discarded a fine cigar only half way through it's practical life to browse. This is only half of the obsession however.

Because I have become so conserned about my appearance I have also made a commitment to shed the extra weigh I put on over the last couple of years. Being so serious about looking sharp while kilted I have actually been sticking to my routine. Of course kilted hikes are a part of the routine, so it isn't too difficult to enjoy. Tomorrow I might leave the kilt hung in the closet however, wear an old pair of my rugby shorts, and jog up the hill rather than walk.

And just what do you have against jogging in a kilt? Choosing shorts instead of a kilt is discrimination, is it not?

That is a bit tricky but I'll give it a go (nice kilt b.t.w.)...off whites, greys, some olives- check with the green in the cloth, maybe light blue, black and charcoal, copper tones maybe as well. but I digress from thread.

I still find i have my favourites tho. and tear the joint appart when i can't find them! Where's that brown shirt? did those hose end up in the wash?! flashes flashes *gesticulating madly to somehow conjure them*.
Ahh we can't help it if we look good.

Out of the 5 kilts I have, 3 are made from a "RealTree" style camo (the material's "name brand" is actually Advantage. I decided it would be very much more gratifying to make my own kilts than to just buy them (though I do intende to buy some). I've looked the internet over for kilt making sites, and found a couple. The reason I decided to go with the camo is two fold... the material is easy to work with, hides my crooked stitching (I use a machine... to lazy for hand sewing), and goes with most of my shirt wardrobe.

Laugh if you will, but I still find myself searching for my green John Cena t-shirt to go with my camo kilts!
