Welcome!
I can see why you would want to get out of your kilt as possible when it is a "uniform" or costume." As a police officer I can't wait to get out of my uniform when I get off work. Of course, I usually put on a kilt - 12 hours in polyester, leather and kevlar is quite enough. For must of us who wear a kilt frequently, a kilt is just another piece of clothing, it just happens to be hideously comfortable and slightly offbeat. Maybe purchase a used kilt and start thinking of it as another option instead of pants, rather than a uniform or costume, and perhaps you will realize why so many members of XMTS are full or part time kilt wearers. If not, well, post some pictures of yourself in your piping gear!
