I'm ole enough not to care what everyone else thinks. Wearing a kilt is comfortable. I will also be wearing it next weekend to my wife's company Christmas party. I know that I will be the only one kilted there. It should be fun.

We went to a Japanese Steak House a couple of nights ago and at our table was an older couple from Florida. They liked the look of my kilt so much that before they left after dinner they had their picture taken with me.
Now the old lady is trying to convince her husband to get one because she says that he has nice looking legs!

Freedomlover, no, snipe is a slang work for a Hull Technician in the navy. If you look at a telephone key pad 481 would = HT1 which is my rate. I know its silly but no one has ever been able to figure it out.

Geez...the impending Holidays are one of the reasons that I am seriously jonesing for the Hunting Stewart USAK that I ordered: I figure that the colors will be very - how you say - holiday appropriate. Looking forward to finding many excuses to kilt out at upcoming holiday events...have the annual kids' Santa's Workshop coming up Saturday next and my buddy Bill and I will be doing the "your photo with the Jolly Old Elf" concession...it'd be a gas to be the kilted photographer for that one.
Going the the mall kilted? Do they figure that you're one of Santa's Helpers? A film extra? ("Look, dear, a man in a kilt...he must be someone important.") I would hope that we'd be a good example to our fellow guys and that going kilted into the frosty blasts of winter would make them think, "Hey, this guy has got a great idea...I, too, wish to show that I laugh in the face of Old Man Winter! I shall prove to the world that I am a hearty type and get myself a kilt to wear through this festive and frigid season!" (I only hope that they don't start looking for the Kilt Store at the mall...)
I love hearing about the encounters that Xmarkser's have wherein some guy says that he thinks that the kilt wearer has "the balls" to wear it or that he (the unkilted) wishes that he had "the balls" to wear a kilt. Tell these guys that they already have the balls to wear a kilt...jeez, I don't think that it's that much different than wearing shorts (a damn site more comfortable and better looking, though)...so what's the big deal?
Peace on Earth, good kilts to men!
best

one other thing I encountered was that the photographers in the mall shop does not have a clue how to photograph a men in a kilt. They tried to get me to pose for pictures with my family like I was wearing pants. That just didn't work. I guess next time I will have to educate them.

Daz, do you kilt full time? I've always heard that the kilt isn't worn very much at all in Scotland except for "occasions."
WrJr, there have been more than a few men who flashed the photographer, but not on purpose.

Mall Fun
I still contend that some of the most fun our ladies can have is to follow behind us about 20 or 30 paces as we walk the mall and watch all the reactions people have to us after we've passed them.
