First Kilted outing!!

[Casey_in_Carolina]

Sharp look. Great "sporran" idea.

If you wanna have an option and look even more "combat ready" try some black soccer sox from your local big box sporting goods store...inexpensive, great in warm weather pushed down.

Most of all you look pleased and that is good good good.

Thanks, I liked the way the sporran turned out. The good think about that one is the two pockets, one big one, and a smaller one on the front of it. That allowed me to put my wallet, cell phone, handkerchief, car keys, etc., in the large pocket and keep it closed, while I kept a bit of cash, and a cigarette lighter in the small pocket. I didn't have to go digging through a lot of junk to pay for things.

As an aside, putting the things from my pockets all into a single pouch made me realize that I carry an awful lot of crap around with me every day. I'll have to see if there's a way to pare all that down some....

The soccer socks is a great idea, it never occurred to me. I was actually thinking I might have to invest in a pair of taller boots. I didn't realize how low they were until I saw the picture of myself in them with no pants legs covering up the top, and no BDU leg bloused over the top.

As for looking pleased, I have to admit, that not only was I pleased, I was very comfortable. And I mean comfortable all the way around. I didn't even find myself nervous to go out in public in my kilt, or even worried about what might be said. It just felt so natural to be in a kilt that it never crossed my mind that I should be nervous about it. My wife is actually the one who pointed that out to me, as I normally get a little edgy before making big changes, but going kilted was, apparently, so natural that I didn't view it, sub-consciously, as a major change.

Already looking forward to the next outing. May be as early as next weekend, when we go as a family up to Sky-Top orchard for apple and pumpkin picking. Depends on the wife though, she'll get final say, and I don't know how comfortable she is with being seen with me kilted. I'll have to broach that subject this evening

Take care all,

Casey
