I am new to kilts, so I have many a pair. but for you die hards. do you have any pants left? and when do you choose to go with out the freedom. and you truly be 100% kilted? or is it more like 50%?

I still have pants. My parents keep buying them for me. >_<
And what the heck, sometime corduroys are really comfy.

I don't think pants will ever lose their place in my wardrobe, though I now spend %99 of my time kilted. What time I do spend on the construction site, or doing flooring, or land clearing, is done in jeans. And especially running the sawmill, all those exposed moving parts, do not need to have 8 yards of hard to tear tartan wool combined with close proximity to my lower body. That's a nasty incident just waiting to happen.

Another thing I would never do is cruise on a motorcycle in a kilt, that doesn't seem like a wise idea to me.

And sometimes, you just want to wear jeans.

I have just as many kilts as pants, but around home I wear kilts 90 percent of the time. Out and about, it is mostly either shorts,golf slacks or jeans. Going out to dinner or shopping, I wear a kilt.

While others may disagree I wear blue jeans for yard work, and since men cannot even wear shorts to the office a kilt is right out.

I'm mostly kilted, but when I wear pants it's usually a business stuation where, at my discretion, pants are more appropriate for a given situation, usually a public meeting or meting of upper management with other agencies' management. Pnts ofr field work are dictated by OSHA. Yard work may be done either in a UK or BDU-style pants.

I'm a full time kilt wearer. I just went and looked at the closet. I have two pair of suit slacks that go with custom suits, and three pair of blue jeans. I have given all the other hated cloth tubes away. I have maintained the two suits for "emergency" purposes, although I honestly can't think of a time that the kilt can't be worn. Pluse these two suits were made for me in Hong Kong and don't fit anybody else.

The jeans are like old friends, and will not easily be discarded, just because I don't wear them anymore..... I guess I will eventually figure out something to do with them, but I can't yet bring myself to throw them away, or otherwise get rid of them. Maybe I will cut the legs off and fashion an X-Kilt out of the fabric?

I try and be kilted as much as I can, but sometimes it just isnt practical for me. I have 4 pairs of pants. 1 pair for a suit, 2 pairs for any time, and 1 pair of pale yellow slacks I just had to get.. lol

Having four (kinda five- post later) kilts, I have more jeans, trousers. My job has a dress code which proscribes kilts (not specifically), and I prefer leg coverings in winter as I have no wool kilts. I would not ride a bike or motorcycle kilted.
When the weather changes I'll be kilted every day.

I don't paint the house or mend the aviary hut roof kilted - I have done both once and then thought that it was a bad idea.

It was not a problem getting up the ladder or onto the scaffolding, just once I was up there I was very conscious of being viewed from below.

Not that there were many people around - but just one would have been far too many.
