All in two hours!

[rollerboy_1979]

My gated community of 1,213 homesites was bustling yesterday as everyone was out enjoying the 72 degree weather on Thanksgiving day. I decided to take my cocker spaniel, Austin, for a long walk before leaving to have dinner with friends. We walked for about 2 hours, stopping to talk to people I knew and did not know. I was wearing my Gordon tartan, cream hose, flashes, brogues, belt, daywear sporran and a black, long sleeve shirt. In that 2 hour period, I managed to hear every conceivable comment or compliment regarding my kilt. Poor Austin was practically ignored! They said things like:
"What's the occasion?"
"Is there a ceremony?"
"What's under there?", and, "Are you naked under there?"
"What's your tartan?"
"Are you Scottish(sic)?"
"That's quite an outfit"
"Where's your bagpipes?"
"Are you going somewhere special?"
"I've been to Scotland"
"Got the outfit on again, eh?"
"Look at those legs!"
There were multiples of each and some I can't remember, but you get the idea. I literally disrupted a foursome teeing off on the golfcourse as I walked by.....one of the women yelled out "Nice kilt" as her husband was addressing the ball. It was an interesting experiment and I'm happy to report not one negative comment. I hope you all had as much fun on Thanksgiving as I did.
Cheers!

Isn't amazing how when you are kilted suddenly the world is your friend?

I've gotta say. I've never understood the "nice legs" comment when I'm wearing hose up!

I get that a lot too. I think the tight hose outlines our legs better. I have had many women say they wished they had my legs. I just thought of it now, "And how would I walk, then?"

DALE.

I've never had a woman say she wanted legs like mine. Then again, my legs are huge. They're cut and muscular, but huge!

The power of the kilt can and should never be under estimated! Just one of the many benifits........

Nice yoyu were sressed up flashes and all. I wear a casual kilt, trail boots and decent;y thick socks, and a T shirt to walk the dog. Except for the the few neighbors from mexico most people give positive responces. Still never heard a bad response. The wife says she totally understands the nice legs statements. She said that I just get confused cause I am a guy but it is normal. Or so she says.

Question. Do yopu get good comments on the brogues. Cause I think brogues are ugly that is why I do not own a pair

I think the Ghillie brogues are a must when you are wearing a traditional Highland outfit. I get away with regular black ones when I dress it down, but with the formal Prince Charlie or Argyle jackets, I think they really make it authentic. I'm also of the belief that you should wear what you like. To each his own. Generally, people will comment that my outfit is authentic, right down to the shoes.

Except that Ghillies aren't traditional to highland dress. A low quarter, buckled chucka is closer to traditional.
Ghillies are actually Victorian.

I'm glad you had such a good day. I envy you your weather, though!
