Kilts to me are a Fashion option, not a Fashion requirement

Spot on, Jamie. For some of us, the kilt is not about fashion or freedom, but heritage.

And I'm not ashamed to admit that I like wearing trousers.

Well now that we have that out in the open, we will understand your posts much better.

Although I initially was interested in kilts as a way to reflect my Scottish ancestors, it has moved beyond that. For me, it is now about freedom of choice. Sometimes I choose to wear a kilt and sometimes I choose to wear trousers.

To me, someone who insists that a man ought to be kilted all the time is just as bad as someone who claims a man ought to wear trousers all the time. It's my life and my body; how I dress is my business.

Besides, I think that a cowboy hat and boots look a lot better with jeans than with the kilt.*

*Disclaimer: This is just my opinion. If you enjoy wearing cowboy boots and hats with kilts, good for you. To me it just seems a little too Dale Evans.

It was not a problem getting up the ladder or onto the scaffolding, just once I was up there I was very conscious of being viewed from below.

Not that there were many people around - but just one would have been far too many.

This is why I also have two pair of cargo pants. I have one pair of nice dress slacks as well. Otherwise, it's all kilts.

I wear pants to school and around the house. I'm not always kilted, though I may be in the future, but not now.

I work in trousers as required under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. So to work I go in Levis and steel toed boots, and long sleeved cotton shirt.The hard hat and vis vest live in my locker for those rare occasions that I am required to wear them. For some business events I wear a sport coat and dress trousers, the rest of them I attend kilted. All of my evenings and days off are kilted.

Personally, I prefer the look and comfort of kilts. My wife loves me in kilts but likes me in jeans, too.
So while I wear kilts almost every day, I have a pair of camo trousers for cycling to work, two pairs of smart trousers for business dress at work and a pair of jeans to make my wife smile now and then.

I still own 7, but haven't worn any of them since last September.

I still have two corduroys for winter, One jeans for whatever, 2 Black suit pants, and two very light & loose 'pyjamma' style for summer. None of these are worn regularly.

And 26 Kilts. I go 'regimental' in all except the suit pants. So either way I'm comfy. None of the pants are tight fitting, so nothing gets squashed.
