German kilter

[Riverkilt]

Don't want to violate the boundaries of the board, just responded with the macabi info because he'd mentioned sarongs.

The one I have is nylon, like the material Columbia uses for river shirts and shorts...lightweight, cool, fast dry...just a comfortable way to do the river. Macabi has hooks and snaps sort of like the UK Workman's modesty snaps to insure modesty.

Don't know that there are "advantages" just different. No pleats on the river skirt rig so don't have to do that seat sweep when sitting, much more comfortable...sorta like a lady would be nekie under a mu mu for comfort, can do the same with a river skirt.

Certainly not ready for going skirted in public unless it was a river trip...some are...still prefer kilts.

really great to see you here, you say you've been here, but I've never been to Germany.

I lived in Gladstone and then in Melbourne for two years, going to school there and becoming bilingual. That was 1969/70. I have a lot of fond memories of the time!

Welcome Hermann.

If you get as much enjoyment as I do, as many laughs as I do, and as strong a sense of fraternal comradeship as I do, when visiting here, you will know that you too have "struck Gold!"

Welcome Hermann,

As has been said before, take it slow and let the wife get used to the kilt. Only thing is to be sure to hold your head high,wear your kilt proud, and enjoy the freedom.

English is fine, I was showing off my command of the internet interpreter, I mean the German tongue

Welcome Hermann. I think we have all had some resistance from spouse, family or employer, but the thing is to keep breaking down those barriers. I think you'll find a lot of support for that here. Glad to have you as part of the forum.

Welcome Hermann
As Jamie mentioned, we don't all get support at home for wearing a kilt. It was a point of discussion yesterday at my house.
But there are a bunch of great guys for support here.

Hi Herman.

Welcome to the group.

[Riverkilt]

At home I mostly wear longyi or sarong, having got to know the longyi in Burma.

Forgot to mention, you may be interested in the Macabi Skirt folks, even though made for the rivers of the U.S. canyonlands. www.macabiskirt.com click on the men's version. Got one last week, really like it for knocking around the house. I also wear pareos/sarongs around the house but worry they might fall off in public...the Macabi skirt doesn't have the worries. Like it over kilts at home since don't have to worry about putting creases in any pleats when sitting for a long time.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of these compared to kilts?
