This would be bad how? :rolleyes:

I agree, I love to see women in skirts and dresses much more than jeans etc.
Rigged is right tho' in saying we are pioneers.
Sometimes when people ask me why I wear a kilt all the time I just tell them I'm a fashion pioneer

Kilts are unique, we are pioneers of something new, but also very old. We look both forward and backward by wearing a kilt.

Be patient with your wife Captain, it took my wife quite a while to accept my kilt wearing. I was firm, but mindful of her feelings.
When I buy a new kilt I like to buy her a dress, or some other gift.

When you go out together, and you're kilted, make sure you tell you wife how great she looks. This has helped us stay faithful together for nearly thirty years.

One could argue that kilt ownership in the UK is growing, but a special event mentality still limits how often they are worn.

There are a few dedicated kilties here and there who wear them more or less everyday and it's our choice to do so, hopefully inspiring others who have kilts to wear them more often and those who don't to consider getting one.

As to the ladies, I was amused when shopping yesterday to see so many in bifurcated garments and would have responded to any that made a comment - "well somebody has to wear a skirt!"

During our little journey over the pond a few weeks ago, I saw only 2 other people in kilts. The piper performing in on the bridge for donations, and Derek in Wales. Which made me stand out the same as I do when I go out at home, and also got my picture taken with a number of other tourists!

You would have seen 3 others if I hadn't been away in Cyprus

But if it's any consolation 3 was all I saw in the Scottish highands in July (besides myself).

Going to a ceilidh in Edinburgh weekend after next - expect to see loads then!
