Anybody else doing Easter Kilted?

[Mark Stephenson]

Yep. Wore Stephenson Modern with charcoal tweed jacket & vest. I also went kilted to our Christmas Eve service. I think folks now will figure I will be kilted at church for "special" services. A couple of men who are of Scottish heritage are contemplating getting kilts. One of them even has his Father's kilt - but it doesn't fit him. I hope I set a good example.

Ok - so I grew a pair and had a kilted Easter Sunday today. Aside from a single Burns Dinner (with my daughter), it was my first kilted outing. My kids were thrilled, and my wife a little dubious - but supportive. The reaction at church was very positive, and since I was the only kilted soul there (there's only 2-3 others I've ever seen kilted before) - I had a bit more attention than I'm used to. I'll admit to being a bit nervous when I realized early this morning that I was scheduled to be head-usher this week, but I'd already made the decision and decided to stick with it.

Hopefully, I managed the look - I'll let the Rabble decide. The tank is from Scotweb, the jacket was cut-down by a local tailor, and yes - those are ghillie brogues (sorry, but my kids like them, and I'm weak). I would have preferred a fancier sporran, but Rocky's hasn't arrived yet (to be clear, I ordered it Friday night, and it shipped Sat morning - so it'll be here tomorrow. That's quick!).

Cheers.

Wearing one right now (Scottish National). Wore my Ancient MacDonald Clanranald (TartanWeb ebay fabric deal), gorgeous Wyvern Leather sporran, and an argyll waistcoat to palm Sunday last week.

We are breaking records for the temperatures in April.

Easter attire has been sandals T shirt and tropical kilt of lightweight cotton in a jungle print. The children in the street, home from school as it is the holidays have been outside every day, running up and down screaming most of the time, it must do them good to get outside though.

I have two of those thermometers which are a tube with floating globes - I forget their name.

In the smaller one all the globes have huddled on the bottom by noon each day, that means 26 degrees Celsius or more, but I forgot to look at the big one to see just how warm it actually was.

There will probably be a ban on using hosepipes before long, but I have a sun shade to rig up to protect my chair out on the decking and the chill cabinet plugged in and stocked, so I think I will survive the bank holidays OK.

I can throw the kilt in the washing machine, hang it up before I go to sleep and it is dry by morning.

Oy oy oy!

I did not do anything special for Easter this year. Went to dinner at a local place where I normally go on Sunday. USAKilt semi-trad in the Holyrood Tartan. A typical kilt arrangment for me on Sunday.

One of the men at the sun rise service had on a plaid tie, and when he said good morning to me, I gave him a blank bewildered look, because my brain was busy going: plaid tie -> male -> kilt -> why is he not wearing a kilt? Apparently my dendrites are connect in such a way that I associate plaid on males with kilts.

I go to church kilted pretty regularly. Today some of the church ladies were nagging my father-in-law because he wasn't kilted and I was. He is the pastor, and has never worn his kilt to preach. So they were giving him what for.

I was camping and scuba diving this weekend, and I wore my kilt during surface intervals. USAK casual firefighter's memorial. met a few other kilties out there, but none actually kilted at the time.

Here's fellow X-Marker Triolamj, one of our lovely waitstaff, and me this morning at our annual Brian O'Neil's Heathen Easter Brunch;

We had about 12 or 14 for the brunch this year, and a good time was had by all!
