I have to say, that one thing I particularly like about a kilt...

... is that I don't have to take my shoes off to put it on. Or take it off, for that matter.

after my day today, I needed that, thanks

Hey, to those of us who have troubles meeting our feet halfway to take the shoes on and off due to arthritic knees, that's a very important feature of the kilt.

The kilt is also handy if you have an itch in places where the sun don't shine.
(As long as no one is watching that is).
The shoe thing is also very true.

I too understand that feeling.

...one of the best uses (and reasons) for wearing a kilt I saw several years ago in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh - a young man on crutches and his leg in plaster was exiting the hospital just as I was coming in. He had a kilt on - which meant that he didn't have to sacrifice the leg of a pair of trousers during the time that his leg was mending. Lateral thinking or what?

Don't have to check your zipper either.

Yep, no flies on kilt-wearers!

But Ron more importantly instead of checking for a zipper, you have to check your pleats!

Some years ago I had a knee oporation and had to go to my local hospital for physio. The first time I went I wore track suit bottoms, but as my legs are quite thick I couldn't pull the leg of the pants up above my knee and there as NO way I was taking them off. Second time I went I wore my kilt and "Nae bother son!"
