    Interesting Comments on the Kilt

    My Sunday: Church, then went out strolling today after church, as I usually do on Sundays (kilted, as always.) Some friends and I went to a local 50's-style malt shop for a fountain soda. The following comments were made on the kilt:

    From the priest at my church: "I should start wearing a kilt on sundays, too!"

    From the soda jerk: "Will you be ordering a pair of trousers today?" (my response: Over my dead kilted body! )

    From a fellow customer: "Do you compete in the highland games?" Now, for those of you whom I have not had the pleasure of meeting, I am a rather brawny guy, 6', 200lbs, broad shoulders, etc...I'm going to take this one as a compliment! :mrgreen:

    From one of my (female) friends: "Sav, you look better in a kilt than any other guy does in trousers!" 8)

    Just thought I'd share some of the positive feedback I get every day while being kilted. Classes start tomorrow, and a new batch of professors will get to see me kilted!

    Wearing your kilt to class? Very Nice! I was just speaking to my wife about that (I take classes at night at a local University). I'm beginning to see that there is absolutely NO occassion that the kilt is inappropraite.

    I wish that were true!!
    My boss would certainly invite me into his office to have a friendly chat about the company dress code, the image of the company I display to customers blah blah blah

    Wear your kilt proudly, but carry a big stick

    Glad to hear that you are going to be kilted in class Sav. As you know kilts are a class garment! If more people wore them like you do, problems that Brasilikilt would encounter would NOT be happening.

    Great comments! I wonder if your priest really will wear one? Give him a kiltmakers' card.

    I had a minister in Denver tell me that he had preached in a kilt, I said, you should still do it!

    Personally, I'm not interested in watching male gymnastics if they are wearing kilts. Same with wrestling
