Kilt Wearing Opportunities

[auld argonian]

If one is breathing, It's a good opportunity to wear the kilt. Sadly, though, I neglected to wear mine to dinner the other day. We met some friends for an early dinner to celebrate his birthday. I was standing at the door when in walks a guy in shorts. It was about 28 degrees outside at the time. I started talking to him saying I almost wore my kilt. He was surprised that I wasn't wearing it. I told him these old knees need some warmth and the kilt stayed home today. But any other time, (Other than work) I ttry to wear the kilt. It has started many a conversation. All Hail the Power of The Kilt.

So far this week I've seen several guys running around in shorts...one in shorts and flip-flops...this is in Chciago...okay...the temperature did rise above freezing but come on!

So these free spirits will prance through the supermarket without a comment but wear a kilt and you'll get the business AND the third degree from half a dozen people..."Oh...is it some kind of holiday?" "Aren't you cold?"

If you are looking for another excuse to wear your kilt, just search for kilt wearers calender here on the forum. It was posted by P1M a while back and comes up with about two thirds of the year covered with reasons.

To Church
To the pub
To a party
Walk in the park
Hike in the hills
Anywhere social you'd wear a suit and tie - if you've a jacket to go with your kilt.You'll have more fun than anyone else in the room, most of the time.
Get the idea?

You're in Scotland, remember? Maybe stand where tourist buses park and just get your photo taken - for cash.

Hike in the hills

That's been my main excuse for kilt-wearing lately. Not a whole lot of opportunities to get dressed up in traditional fashion, but I never need an excuse to kilt up and go hiking.

The freedom and comfort of wearing a kilt, coupled with getting outside and exercising to enjoy the beauty of nature... that's almost as good as it gets!

(Of course, I live in a more moderate climate than many of you.)

I wear mine most weekends and always to church.

August 1, commemorating the proscription of wearing of tartans in 1746
July 1, commemorating the lifting of the proscription in 1782
November 30, St. Andrew's Day

On St. Patrick's Day I wear either my Irish National tartan or solid Saffron kilt. In Chicago when I'm wearing a kilt, most folks think I'm Irish because they see kilts in the St. Patrick's Day parade.

I only wear my kilts on day ending with "y".
