how do you feel about a kilt being worn as a fashion statement?

[thescot]

I don't think of the choice of an article of clothing as a big deal. I like kilts, I have Scottish roots, I wear kilts. I kind of like being a little different from other folks (within certain conservative norms), so you can see that I am probably not wholly consistent.

I also think they look terrific, and so do many others from the comments that come when ever someone posts pictures, so a lot of folks here think of them as fashion.

I checked I DON'T CARE because I don't care. We're all at least a bit fashion conscious--else we wouldn't fork over big bucks for an article of clothing when Walmarts has serviceable coverings for a fraction of the cost--or we wouldn't be here.

I would love to see lots of guys in kilts, but I don't expect to see it. So here I am in a kilt, about to head out for the ST. Paddy's festivities, and I hope to cut a dashing figure.

Umm, yes, exactly.

I wear kilts because they are comfortable. I have a Stewart Black tartan, not because I am a Stewart (I'm not), but because I think it looks good. I like to see men in kilts regardless of their reasons for wearing them.

so from what we have so far the general consencus is that kilts are great.

Amen, brother. So mote it be.

This is not about food or shelter or keeping the kids fed. It's about clothing, and some of us are fortunate enough (or smart enough, or hard working enough, or whatever) to be able to indulge our proclivities. We can do what we want.

And, we want to wear kilts. It's not really about anything other than our own desires and choices. I love kilts. Tonight, I was the focus of interest most places I went (it's St. Paddy's Day), and I loved it. It's not about respect, tradition, etc. No, it's about being who I am (an old guy who wears a kilt and loves doing it) and accepting the things I cannot change, changing the thing I can (that need changing), and knowing the difference.

But . . . I am one bad mamma-jamma in a kilt, and the laides love it!

Wooo-hoo!
