I'm a Canadian of German heritage who has discovered the fun of wearing a kilt. I have to wear support stockings from the effects of an MRSA infection a year ago. Now we had a very warm summer and I tell you the socks look really dumb with short pants. So I decided to order a kilt and give it a try. My family is Ok with it and so is everybody I have met. I tell you I am hooked. now I just have to fugure out how to keep warm in the winter.
