Feeling a little nauseous------wearing a kilt is serious and these people are buffoons......
In regards to the Hilfiger ad, that will just kill the kilt for me---I'll be damned if I would go to Abercrombie and fitch to buy a KILT!!!!!!!!all the pictures I've seen on here are of people looking embarrassed and treating it as if they were wearing a skirt...
***Offensive language removed***
I can only hope that some of my ancestors killed some of theirs!!!!

Just a little harsh? Kilts should be serious, kilts should be fun, kilts should be elegant, kilts should be goofy. There is plenty of room for all kinds of kilt wearers. The kilt is so freeing and comfortable you just have to be goofy sometimes.

As for Abercrombie and Hilfiger we are probably not the customer they are trying to sell clothing, but the Hilfiger add does have a free feeling. The "you don't have to match all the time" feeling, or just be comfortable and wear a kilt with whatever you have and enjoy time with your friends.

To tell people that they have to wear kilts a certain way gives too much power to other people who say "You have to wear pants."

BTW I didn't ever think I would post on page 120 of any topic.

Heck yeah! Well said. I take some aspects seriously. I was just giving my new wife a hard time and messing with my new inlaws. Screw anyone who tells me that I have to act a certain way.

And uh... you screwed up a little here...

It's not the first time-- or the last by any means......
Just stating my personal opinion and will stand by it.
People are gonna do what people are gonna do, and I understand that sometimes I am a little harsh.
The perspective I'm seeing this from is my grandfathers--he was the brave one in the family who uprooted and gave up everything to come to America---the wearing of the kilt was a daily ritual for him and everything had to be perfect, he made sure my dad was kilted appropriately and it passed down to me as well--- I wear red wing boots and a t-shirt with my kilt often which would never be considered appropriate by their generation but times change!!--I'll try to be a little less blunt next time......BUT......I still say the hilfiger thing is embarrasing and you'll know what I mean when people start asking us "what mall did you get your kilt at" Ha-Ha!!

I meant Mark, who posted on the 120th page, and then said he never would, screwed up a little. And in truth, that Hilfiger ad just about made me puke, as well. I actually made an earlier comment about it. Buying a kilt from freakin' Hilfiger is in my of DO NOT DO- EVER!! category.
