Difficult to call any particular kilt a favourite - some are more comfortable than others; some make the wearer feel good because they ooze quality; some are just a nice tartan that goes with a good variety of other clothes. What swings it here though in favour of my work wear kilt is that this is the kilt which transported me from wearing the kilt as costume to weddings and country dancing, to wearing it as an everyday garment. My wife gave me this one for Christmas 2002, 8 yard, all black 16 oz, built by a local kiltmaker here in the Scottish Borders. At the time I thought I would only ever wear it to church and to funerals. This particular kiltmaker only puts a single buckle on each side, so when I injured my leg in January 2003, it was an easy matter to strap this round myself to go into the office. Wearing a kilt was so well received by colleagues and the public whom I had to deal with and I realised I'd been missing out on this comfort for years.
