    I was actually watching a documentary on PBS about flea markets. They did a piece about the then new, Utilikilts. Ever since I saw that show, I thought about how much freedom the kilts seemed to provide. Plus they just looked cool. Finally after a few years I had enough free money to buy one.

    I had a brother, now deceased, who was in a Scottish Dance troup and he made his own kilt. I always said that if I had a kilt I'd wear it, regularly not just once in a while, but I never did anything about it. I had no idea where to start and there wasn't any "Xmarks" at that time. A friend of mine heard about Utilikilts and told me about them, so I ordered one and wore it to work for several days in a row. My *@#& manager couldn't take it and informed me that I was not to wear it anymore. I haven't worn a pair of long pants since. Is obstinancy a Celtic trait? I wear Carhart shorts at work (a Harley dealership) and put on my Kilt as soon as I get home. I also wear a Balmoral at work since there's no company policy against headware. I now longer have that control freak as a manager but he established a policy that I'm not having much luck changing. I do get to wear a Kilt to work on St. Patricks day, St. Andrews day, and National Tartan day. My legs haven't been covered by anything other than my riding over-pants in going on four years now. Did I mention that I think obstinancy might be a Celtic trait?
