I may be out of my league here...

When I dont want to use a sporran, I wear my Utilikilt too!

[Mael Coluim]

To each his own, Pete. Enjoy the pants.

Welcome aboard.

Wear it or don't, it's up to you. I doubt anyone will convince you. Frankly if you don' even wear it at the games with hundreds--or even thousands depending on the games--in kilts around you, well . . .

[GMan]

At least you are wearing the Kilt, better than not at all.

I'm a bit anxious about crumpling the pleats, too. Ironing a kilt seems to be a major exercise, so the thing to do to minimize the work involved seems to be to wear trousers most of the time.

I'd want it to feel special too, so I wouldn't wear a kilt very often.

To those people who wear a kilt daily - how often do you need to iron it?

I've been wearing kilts for 3 years now on a daily basis, I've never had to iron them. The real trick is to purchase a good quality 16oz or heavier wool, they seem to hold pleats better than a lighter weight or P.V.

Welcome to the kilt board, as some comments on wearing of the kilt other than when piping turned ugly on the piping board, either way here will not.
I wear a kilt every day. I change into jeans at work as trousers are required for safety reasons. (flying glass and shards of metal) I am a teacher in my house of worship to first and second grade students, and I am always kilted. Fryeburg is not all that far from Effingham, New Hampshire, where my nephew lives and I used to call home. I frequent the area kilted. I have been known to do the Fryeburg Fair kilted.
I travel around Boston kilted all the time, and enough people have asked me where are the Bagpipes? that I have taken up learning them from a piper from Litchfield, Maine. I am having way to much fun with the pipes.

Kilt on as you are comfortable. Every day is not practical if the science you teach is chemistry. Kilt + H2SO4 = unhappy Scot.

Wow. And you do need to iron trousers pretty often if you want to look neat. Not that I actually get around to ironing trousers. Well, I do once in a while.

Keydetpiper, Are you still at VMI? My son just got his ring!

Welcome to XMTS. I only wear my kilt on special occasions but have casual, day wear, smart casual and full dress items to go along with it. When I wear it it feels special and marks whatever occasion I am attending. I am not a piper or in a band but parading and playing is a special occasion so keep it up. I have a type of pouch (from ebay) that I wear in addition to my sporran on my main belt but at my side. This holds not only my mobile but a camera and wallet so I don't need pockets.
