    Comfort, Heritage, and non-conformism play a part. Where I live most men would not wear a kilt for love or money.


    So maybe it is a deep seated insecurity that pushes me to show those fearfull souls how to get out and live? A question for more learned folk than I.

    What brought me to it is very distant to why I almost never wear pants anymore. I just like wearing a kilt. I like the way it looks and the way it makes me feel.

    I don't particularly like the whipsering and staring in grocery stores and such. But watching the fans do the cart crash and walk into displays and each other kind of gives some cheap entertainment anyhow.

    On the upside, the kilt is very well recieved by some. I don't think the contempt of the ignorant, even if it were non-stop would bifurcate me any time soon.

    I dont follow this logic at all. However Mr MacDougall is enitled to this opinion.
    That is one of the great things about this site!
    I don't like any kilt comparisons to ways of life I dont have any underestanding of.
    FOR ME:
    Heritage, Uniqueness, pride, Masculinity, Good women like a man in a kilt!
