First Kilt!

[pbpersson]

Oh, and aside from reactions this is the most comfortable thing I have ever (EVER) put on my body. Holy cow, every guy should wear these things. I wore it out to a Rocky Horror Picture Show last night, sat around the house all day long in it today... wow... simply amazing.

Holy cow is right. That's more or less what I thought when I tried my first kilt which was also a UK original. I have tried different types of kilts, but the UK is still my favorite, I don't know if it's because it was my first. I have a feeling I would like Union Kilts as well because the design is very similar.

One thing you really need to know about these Utilikilts that they don't mention on their web site but which I think I should tell you. Umm....well, they have this tendency to multiply in your closet. I started out like you around the 4th of July with one in my closet and now there are six hanging in there.

I don't know how in the world that happened..... :confused:

Yeah, most of us don't understand why everyone isnt' wearing these.

oh, as for the 12 steps program, most people wind up repeating it repeatedly...some with a fine single malt to help.

Yeah, I just got home from church (work). The most frequent question I got was "Why?". And when I tried to tell them how comfortable it was and how everyone should wear one their eyes just sort of glazed over. I only had one person ask what was on underneath and I told him that only the wife and myself know the answer to that question. Next person that asks gets "Socks and Shoes" for an answer.

Did get a couple of people who recognized it last night at the Rocky Horror Picture Show. It kind a went like this:

Teen #1 (to Teen #2): See man, you're not the only one that dressed up like a chick

Teen #2: Ummm... that's a kilt. Guys wear those.

Teen #3: Heck yeah, that's a Utilikilt! Those things are awesome!

Welcome aboard, Captain!

I did the same thing the first time I wore my Utilikilt - left my shirt-tail hanging out. I've tucked 'em in ever since. Just an example of the friendly, practical advice & support you can expect to get in this forum from your kilted clansmen here.

When it comes to kilt advice, just remember what that lil' ol' band from Texas sang -
"I Heard It On The X!"

Welcome from SC! I know you will enjoy this wonderful addiction. I still dont understand when people ask why I wear a kilt. My usual anwser is "Why not?"
