For me personally, The first time I wore a kilt was as a child for halloween. I was rowdy Rody Piper, The wrestler. Years later, I worked summers at a Renaissance faire. One of my friends had been wearing a kilt for a while and suggested that I try it because of the free air conditioning. I've been wearing kilts for seven years now nearly all summer and as much as possible in the other months when it's not too cold. I have a hard time wearing pants anymore because the weight always pulling them down and the restricted mobility drives me nuts. And that's another thing! Jeans are like a cheap hotel...no ballroom. So please, tell me why you wear a kilt and how it came to be.
