Kilt vs. Skirt

[O'Neille]

I got the skirt comment from a wedding goer last weekend. It turns out that he was a rugby player just ribbing me to get into a conversation, as he also saw my IIRB shirt. The wedding eventually ended up at the hotel bar and everyone was singing rugby songs by last call. Sometimes it's just someone talking to you like they'd talk to their buddies, when they wore kilts. It will most likely bother those you're with more than you, because after a while you've heard it all. O'Neille

Do you find you keep having to tell people your not in womens clothes?

In the 21st century, regardless of what you wear, it is womens clothes! Blue jeans, slacks, shorts? The women are wearing all those things. If a man is thinking he can wear ANYTHING that will make him look uniquely male, there is no hope in sight and that ship sailed out of the harbor long, long ago.

Now men need to wear what makes them comfortable and what makes sense for their anatomy. I think the male anatomy CRIES OUT for the kilt.

Any guys who give you any problems, just tell them you are way more comfortable than they are, you are having way more fun, and whatever they are wearing are women's clothes anyway.

The guys who will be teasing you will be dressed just like their women and you can point that out to them - maybe it will get them thinking.

To be absolutely correct, a kilt is a pleated skirt - but then a shirt made in the old way with a double yoke and an undivided lower part - that is the skirt - a long coat made with a seam or a flare at the waist - the lower portion is the skirt.

On a hover craft the flexible retainer of the air cushion is a skirt - a marquee or 'big top' has a roof and a skirt.

A woman's gown has one - ecclesiastical robes have one - even educated fleas .. er .. h um..

However - someone calling your kilt a skirt is possibly just trying to wind you up.

Calmly assess the situation and react accordingly - there are many suitable responses on offer - if the individual deserves a reply.

If we males were to make it a policy to never wear the same styles as women, we would have to go through life naked.

So, you might as well enjoy your kilts.

The 99%worlds male population is very insecure where clothing and identity are concerned... heck, most of the people shopping for underwear and socks in mens clothing departments are women! There's little we can do to change that.

The basic rules remain...

Women wear what they want.
Men wear what they're told.

That is the way of things.

There were lots of Kilts worn at the 105 Year Harley Anniversary in Milwaukee . I Plan on wearing mine to the Canadian National HOG rally in Calgary Alberta this year.

Edinburgh HD HOG chapter has a registered tartan. I would like to see If I could get one of those Kilts made up,

My take on it is that men who make comments like that are intimidated. I love going into the local pub with my Kilt and my HD shirt.

I may have posted this twice, so bear with me.

Its my experience that men who make comments like that are intimidated. Especially when we show up at the local pub in our HD shirts and Kilts : )
