Glasgow Teens?

PHBBBBT!

Like Blu said - enjoy! And consider the source - I suspect my stepson (14 years old) might have liked going kilted, but for the fact that I beat him to it.

The only opinion that really matters is your own.

The girl is hardly qualified to make such sweeping cultural or social admonitions.

Enjoy your kilt(s).

Amen!

I am from Glasgow & it is kilt friendly. I have no objections to Americans wearing the kilt, or anyone else for that matter. Wear your kilt with pride.

There certainly not many guys in Scotland who wear the kilt everyday,its probably too expensive as a garment to do so. But over the next few weeks loads of guys of all ages will be wearing their kilts on frequent occassions and most weekends throughout the year the kilt is worn at weddings, graduations, parties etc. In recent years the business that you would want to get into in Scotland is kilt hire, there are shops in every town. Scotsmen just loving wearing their kilt and the females just love looking at them as well as getting admiring and envious looks from other males.

You know I have a teenage daughter, if I dressed the way she thinks is cool, I would have on a backwards baseball hat and my pants would be down around my knees, so I choose to dress the way I like.

Well, I figured it was an exception--this girl is very into fashion and image.

She wasn't dressed like this, was she?

The majority of the Miners travelled through SF to get supplies etc. before going into the "hills". Sacramento was pretty much just an outpost (i.e Sutter's Fort), and the mining towns were not much either. Levi Strauss didn't do well at mining, but thought of using the canvas to make pants that could put up to the abuse of mining without being destroyed.

I think the young lady was speaking off the top of her young head, and we all remember how we "knew it all" back then!

My daughter is 22 and she thinks my kilts are cool.

Last week I had a fellow from Glasgow on my bus. He was in town to visit his daughter who was in the hospital here. We had a nice conversation about all sorts of things, and I asked him what he thought about people in other countries wearing kilts. He said as long as they had some kind of connection to Scotland or Ireland, he thought it was great! He said he only wears his for special occasions, but didn't have any problem with someone who wears them all the time.
