    That's great!

    Maybe lets expand this to include t-shirts to wear (or hats or..?) while not kilted as well...


    About my "who cares if I'm Scottish" comment. The way I see it, is that someone assuming that I'm Scottish just because I'm in a kilt is ignorant. I could be Irish. I could be some other nationality. Frankly, it doesn't matter what you are. If you enjoy the kilt, then by all means, wear it!

    I wouldn't wear something offensive whilist kilted, however something funny and whitty, like I mentioned earlier, would be fun.

    I am Scottish. My G. Grandfather came here (the U.S.) a long time ago. He used to wear a kilt a lot, and the accent left over enough that there was no question where he was from. I used to spend weekends at his place when I was growing up. In fact, I would have his accent when I came home and it would get me into trouble! It still creeps into my vernacular when I get tired or am around it a bit.

    The point is, I AM Scottish and proud of my heritage, but I don't see that as a requirement for anyone to wear a kilt.

    Hey, how about a shirt with something like the superman "S" but a "K" instead? For....Kiltedman!?

    Ha!

    Peace, out.

    Sorry, but that statement is more than a little unfair. While others may wear the kilt, for any number of reasons, it is recognised around the world as the national dress of Scotland. So having someone assume you are Scottish because you are wearing a kilt does not make them ignorant.

    Exactly, Chef. While many nationalities have adopted the kilt & tartans as of recent, including the Irish, the kilt is a Scottish garment. There's nothing ignorant in identifying the kilt (not the wearer) as a Scottish garment.

    I like Nighthawk's design--and it leaves interpretation up to the viewer! Excellent! Where can I get one?

    When I ordered my Amerikilt, also bought one of their T-shirts with "official kilt inspector" neatly printed on the front. My partner wears it with pride, and everyone asks her about it!
