Thanks to RobertsonII for getting this string started--honestly. I have learned a great deal about kilts and about some of the members of this great place we call X. The first kilt I wore was a polyviscous Fraser Hunting in a Dragon Boat race last spring. I loved the freedom so much I bought a wool 4 yd.Hunting Mackinnon just so I had one of my own. I now own or have on order, an 8 Yd Ancient Mackinnon, a Polyviscous Hunting (so I can race in my 'own colours') and a polyester 'brightly coloured' (you guess which one...) kilt for mucking around in. One day I hope to own a box pleated Davidson, a ultilikilt and anything else that looks comfortable, practicle and handsome. I have work my kilt to work--I teach in a HIgh School--to the great interest of students and fellow teachers alike. Yes they think I'm a bit eccentric, but they did before I wore a kilt too. Another faculty member has the most beautiful black leather kilt--and a 6'4'' frame to wear it on! So I am not alone in my kiltish wear. I wear a kilt because I can!
