A reason for kilting - as if anyone needed one -- longish

[jeanfor]

When asked I just say because I like it.... Being French from the north of France, I may have had some Nordic ancestors that may have worn something similar. A wool kilt is the best in winter to keep you warm an confortable.

Thanks to Hector for his anecdotes and review, with which I identify well. I was walking downtown kilted because my wife and I were celebrating. In this non kilted, Western environment I was sticking out somewhat and I was beginning to feel it. I, too, have been kilting only about a year. So I got my mind into gear and reviewed the story of why I came to be like this at this time in my life. Just then a Middle Eastern man holding the hand of a veiled and robed woman overtook us. Then I felt justified some more. No offence to the people of Shem.
