Help - I am scared

Just be glad you don't (let's hope) have to worry about tucking the back of your garment into your panty hose when coming out of the loo...

This only applies if you're wearing a mini-kilt

The knot on my head has almost gone down now.

Good show.

No hope at all

Undoubtedly caused by sitting for too long in the bath.

And to think I thought is was just me. I feel much better now.

Now I find that it is just a matter of grabbing the rightest looking top to go with the kilt of the day as I head for the bathroom, and I am usually still neatening the belt of the kilt on the way downstairs.

For me the kilt is a faster way to dress, though I suspect that I now pay more attention to having a whole range of tops available so I can match one to the kilt I want to wear, and really keeping my clothes better than I used to do. I even do a load of washing if there are only my clothes in the basket.

In short I spend more time keeping my clothes up to scratch, plus I throw out things with stains or holes, and I make things for myself with a clearer conscience than ever before.

Men always used to be peacocks - it was, I think Beau Brummel who altered that - before then plain garments were for cloisters and clergy.

I suspect that men dressing in kilts are simply reclaiming their rightful place in front of the full length mirror.

A resurected thread.

Too be sure, it is a wise kiltie who checks his pleats after using the men's room. Very easy to get pleats tucked in to the waistline, have pleats double up on themselves. Can be VERY embarrassing if you don't check...whether a mirror or by twisting around. Do be sure to check both sides. Swish the pleats a bit to be sure.

Just remember, Kilts are a chic magnet!

Indeed...but as Ron points out above, one doesn't want the attraction for the wrong reasons!
