On October 12 , 2011, I walked into the local small store which sells some kilts (the Plaid Place) and got my first kilt (a 'Scottish National' tartan one). I walked out of the store wearing it and have been wearing kilts every time I've gone out for a year today. (indoors I just wear cheap cloth wraps)

I wish to celebrate by getting a new kilt but I'll have to settle for my current two for a while yet.

Many people in the general populace may look at one as insane or 'odd' for wearing a kilt (or wearing anything out of the ordinary, especially for males I think) but I look at a lot of 'normal' clothes and trends and think they are insane (and just because 90% of the population does something doesn't make it any more sane). There have been many positive comments and some photos with tourists and strangers so it's been an interesting experiment in that way too.

Everyone would have their own reasons for wanting to wear kilts daily (or as often as one wants). I had been researching ancient clothes around the world for some time and saw that for centuries and millenia, men often wore a certain form of clothing (knee-length wrap or tunic, leggings, etc). I was already in disagreement with many aspects of how I see modern "civilization" (or our template of "civilization") and I think wearing kilts makes me feel outside a system I feel isn't quite right. I also think it makes one feel closer to natural forces. When the wind blows your clothes around, you feel automatically feel more a part of natural forces. And kilts just look darned good too!
