Just joined. Wearing kilt more often.
My name is David. First-time posting. Got my first kilt, a wool Black Watch, in the spring. I've been to three Scottish events and have another coming up the weekend after Labor Day. About two weeks ago my wife and I were going to a picnic in the park with a club to which we belong. I decided to wear my kilt. My wife, who thinks the kilt looks great on me, shook her head and said, "Whatever." She figured it to be a bit eccentric of me to wear my kilt without having a Celtic event to attend. Other than a few folks asking me if I was a piper, most noticed the kilt without feeling a need to comment on it. I loved that. I thought this could become just another choice of apparel in my closet. So I wore it again two days ago, this time to a concert in the park. One gentleman introduced himself to discuss my tartan and to tell me about his, which he wasn't wearing at the time. I figured if I'm going to be wearing a kilt more often, I need a second one. I've sent away to Stillwater Kilts for a washable Black Stewart in order that I don't beat up my good wool kilt. It should be arriving any day now. I am really liking this. Even my grown children are getting used to seeing me in a kilt. They think their papa is weird, but harmless.
