I'll tell you up front that I'm 54 years old. I've been told that I don't act my age which might be a good thing and might be a bad thing, depending on the situation, and who's telling me!

A couple of months ago I had on a camouflage kilt, and I was walking around downtown...banking, hardware store and so on. A woman I didn't know stopped next to me at the crosswalk with her older-teenage son ( I assume it was her son). She said that she liked my kilt and asked the young lad what he thought.

The kid said something along the lines of how it was cool but seemed weird on someone as old as myself. I asked him if it would be better if I had worn a Scottish kilt...you know, one of those plaid ones. He admitted that would probably be better, as in "not so weird if I was Scottish, anyway". At that point the light changed, we crossed the street and parted with smiles all around.

No worries!!

I've been thinking about that. Me...50-something... BALD, no less...and a camouflage kilt with boots. Do some people see that as weird? ....as in kinda like the "old guy" trying to look all "sick" and trendy. Sometimes that just looks silly.

Not that I care, eh? I'll wear what I want as long as it suits my taste, doesn't draw a crowd and doesn't break any municipal regulations, but what's your take on it? What's your take on the "old guy" (anything over about 30) and the contemporary NON-TARTAN (like UK's Amerikilts, Alt.kilt, X-kilt) kilt thing?
