Name is Matt, but often called Mac,..Irish/German mutt, raised on the farm, living in the big town of Columbus, Ohio,...any Dropkick Murphys fans out there?

Thanks, Gent--M

Hey Matt/Mac! Keith here - Captain Karrot.

I live in Columbus myself (Lewis Center). There is a group of us that typically gets together once a month or so. Watch the Kilt Nights topic. We'll be having one within a few weeks, I believe.

And yes, oh yes, I am a DM fan!

Welcome,from Inverness-shire.Could you tell what this "buckeye" thing is please?

Welcome bud, from the Palmetto state, and I LOVE THE DROPKICK MURPHYS!!! They're honestly my favorite band. I've seen them live twice and have all of their CDs. But welcome to the kilted world.

Greetings, Mac.

That's a dangerous question to ask around here

When I got my first kilt, I asked the same question and here's the answer I got:

Drinks with friends
Trips to the grocery store
Attending the cineplex
The next ball game
Filling your fuel tank
Your next date
Weekend in wine country

See how easy that is?

I was dubious at first, but they were right. Wearing a kilt is great for all of the above and more, once you get used to it.

Best regards,

Jake

The State of Ohio's nickname is the Buckeye State.

Here's more than you'll ever want to know about why.

Best regards,

Jake

from Chicago. I wear mine on weekends, usually, including church. Last week wore a kilt to my new job for the first time. My brother wears his daily to work.
