Greetings from Kansas

[djimi]

Hello all! This is my first post. I'm very new to kilts, but have already fallen in love! I just got my first the other day, a utilikilt via ebay, and I love it. I don't yet have the guts to wear it out, mostly because of family, but I'm getting close! It just amazes me how much people care about what other people wear, as though it really affects them!

Are there any other kilt wearers in KS? Just curious.

I do want to say thanks for the forums, a great resource!

Back when I started wearing the kilt, I wore it around the house at first. Then I wore it out to check the mail. As I grew more courageous, I wore it around town. Now I wear the kilt as part of my daily attire, I no longer own any pants.

Try not to worry about what others say, they don't write the rules by which you live

Welcome from Texas.

I feel ya. Unfortunately, sometimes family is the hardest on us when it comes to stepping out of the box, but you'll just have to go for it. For the most part, the response you get from GQ public will be favorable, but it's really all just about you. Take pics of you in the new kilt and let us see it.

I think what djmi had in mind, refering to family is not meant as family forbiding him kilts, but rather to be afraid that family would have to deal with others comments.

At least this is my case. I don't wont my kids would have to hear comments like: "Your father is ..." and those kind of things.


Oh yes, welcome by the way!

Greetings from Colorado! Good luck with the family; I'm lucky that I don't have those concerns. If you do have scottish blood, just tell them your reconnecting with your forefathers; if not, tell them because you look darned good in it!
