No Alan, you are not a poser. If you wore a kilt once a year you still would not be a poser. IMHO. While a kilt represents different things to different people, it is first and foremost a piece of clothing, no different than a suit, pair of jeans, or sweatpants.
What the non-kilted do not understand, is the kilt is a comfortable and versatile garment (not to mention cost effective.) For example, when I had to travel for business, depending on the assignment, a week on the road would require a minimum of three wool suits (usually four) at $700,00 to $800.00 each, sometimes a wool sport jacket at $300.00 with a pair of wool trousers at $125.00 was also needed, and once in a while a tux. Plus the usual accessories, dress shirts, ties, shoes, etc. All of that could be replaced by two tanks, a black argyle, a tweed argyle with waistcoat and a pc if needed. Changing the look is as simple as changing the tie and hose combination for the day's business, while a casual evening would require only removing the tie, or switching to a casual shirt. One of my sporrans is a versatile black elk semi formal sporran from Craigie Originals which can be worn for business, casually, and in a pinch, with a pc. My five suit garment bag would have definitely been lighter.
So Alan, you are not a poser. Instead sir, I would say you are a frugal man with style. Just my two cents worth.
