What if kilts never really catch on?

Geez, this thread has sure gotten off-course from the original question...

If kilts never really catch on, that's fine by me. I enjoy being unique & standing out from the crowd - I always have. Right now, kilts fit in well with that way of livin'.

If kilts do ever catch on (I ain't holdin' my breath), I'll still wear 'em 'cuz there so dang comfortable!

They probably said the same thing about pants for women back in the 1950's - certainly they will never catch on....why would women want to wear pants??

If kilts never catch on it will make absolutely no difference to me. No, that's not quite true, I don't neccessarily want kilts to catch on. I used to be confused (but flattered) when people would tell me that I wear the kilt well. I didn't understand what they meant. Now that I've been to a few Highland games and seen what some people wear and call a kilt and how some people can wear a perfectly good kilt but make it look like rubbish I understand. When somebody expresses an interest in the kilt I enthusiastically encourage them and offer what little help or advice I can. I do not, however, want every Tom Dick and Harry putting on a kilt without care and knowledge simply because "it's what men wear"! Let the sheep continue to wear trousers and leave the kilts to those who are passionate about them and care enough to learn about what they are doing.

p.s. as I've posted before, I'm not allowed to wear my kilt at work except for special events either, but it has made me that much more aware of the value of the kilt for me and made me even more dedicated to wearing the kilt and fostering kilt wearing among the cognoscenti like all you folks here.

And now we're all wondering...

"...but what if I worked 12 hours a day, had a three hour commute, and expected to get eight hours of sleep each night? "

Wear the kilt on your day(s) off.

I do work 12 hour days on the weekend... lemme tell you that gets old FAST, the only reason I still hold that job is because it is only on the weekends, and it pays pretty well for 2 days a week. My other job is a lot less stressful. But between the two, I DO only have one day off a week. That hasn't stopped me in my continual acquisition of kilts.
