How many guys are really wearing kilts?

As has been said, I think it all boils down to statistics. While there are well over 1500(?) members here, that is not even a drop in the bucket compared to the number of psople on the planet. Even if we were all in the same geographical location, the chances of seeing another kilted person in a regular setting is miniscule. Heck, we sometimes can't even hook up with each other at some of the Games and events!

I believe that kilt wearing is on the rise, but it is going to be slow, and I believe that it is company's that provide a contemporary and functional kilt, like UK, FK, AK, and RK that are going to fuel it most. That is not a slight on USAK, I love their kilts and will be ordering more in the future, but they are focused on the tartan market and I think that the average Joe Public is not going to want a tartan for everyday use.

Just MO, YMMV and you may disagree.

Once I saw someone kilted that wasn't in a mirror, aside from celtic/Scottish events. I'm SWK nightstalker kilted today.

At least for me, Kilt wearing was a novel idea at first. I didn't think I will be owning more than one, let alone wearing one to work. It had been 3 years since I bought my first UK and I wearing a Bear Kilt at work right now.

In Vancouver, things are very different. Vancouver has a big population of proud Scots. I often see guys wearing their UKs ot tartan kilts around. It is a fairly common sight. I know at least 2 guys who wear kilts regularly. The number is growing here.

I see people in kilts in and around Vancouver fairly regularly. I have seen them at the aquarium, the zoo, festivals, charity events, community events, Canada Day celebrations, walking down the street, etc. These have ranged from traditional kilts to Utilikilts.

I don't wear kilts full time, but I wear them when I feel like it. In my little corner of the lower minland, I know of one full time kilt wearer, whom I have seen on a number of occasions, but not spoken to yet.

The kilt makers can't keep up because Ron is making a run at catching Hamish's collection. The guy orders 4 at a time for pete's sake!!!
