Am I losing my love affair with kilts?!

[McFarkus]

I wear my kilts when I feel like it. Like you I can't (normally) wear them to work. I would guess that relatively few folks here are even close to full-time kilt wearers. The main thing is ENJOY!

(btw are you at Brookfield zoo or Lincoln Park zoo in the Chicago area? You should sign up for the Chicago Kilted social group (click here). In addition to posting threads, we send out PMs when there is an area event or kilt night.)

I have to agree with something that a few others have said here...

Try wearing a good traditional tartan kilt, complete with sporran, hose, flashers and all. Complementing waistcoat if you can find one.

The difference in public perception between the more modern kilts compared to the "expected look" is (at least my area) quite different.

I havenever lost my loveof weaering the kilt even after 50 years I do not wear it when working at tractors or cars boilersuit for that

Before anybody jumps down my throat, I have to say, that I do not like Utility 'kilts', but would defend to my last breath anyones right to wear them - however, I would not. Therefore, kilts for me are for wearing when I am not in a work situation, or indeed any situation where an expensive piece of clothing is in danger of being damaged.
So it is troosers for working, and kilts for most other things.
This works well for me, as as so many others here have said before me, it makes me feel 'special' when I don the tartan.
