    Since I am a twin, I have been using the plural for years, especially when we celebrate our birthday. (It's not quite a state occasion but we enjoy ourselves.) And for our birthday this year I ordered my first kilt. (How's that for a segue way back on topic.) I wear it for many of the reason's already stated: family heritage, fun...

    So - how does your twin feel about you're having gotten a kilt?

    Since I have been playing in a pipe and drum band he's OK with me wearing a kilt, but I don't expect to ever see him in one. The one I ordered is my first personal kilt and is in the family tartan - Dundas. He and my sisters think it's great that I'm wearing the family tartan, but we haven't actually gotten together and gone out in public yet - I've only had it for about a month and they don't live close by.

    Short/smart alec answer- Because I can.
    Wearing a kilt is, to me, an expression of the freedom I feel as an American and as a veteran. Freedom to be an individual.
    Wearing a kilt gives me a confidence & swagger.
    It helps give my children an example of moral courage.
    It makes me look dead sexy! LOL!

    1. Because tossing a caber whilst wearing cargo shorts just looks stupid.
    2. Because I can.
    3. Because I want to.
    4. Because my wife likes it.
