    Comment At Church

    I attend church every Sunday and always wear a kilt. Yesterday a young lady in the congregation approached me and said, "You always look so nice and I'm pleased to see you upholding your tradition." Said young lady is about 13 years old and for the record (not that it matters) is Black.

    As we are leaving church after service, I am often approached by one or more of the men who say that they wish they had worn their kilt and how good I look in mine.

    It would be nice to see more kilties at church, as for now, I'm the only one.

    I wear my kilt to church on Sunday's as well. Only once, on a particularly nasty, slushy, muddy, cold day did I wear p@nts and half the congregation wanted to know where my kilt was.

    I wore my kilt to my wife's church on Christmas Eve, and then to midnight mass at my church. Wow, I got the looks, but many positive comments. So, everyone, wear that kilt to church! Who knows, we might have a special place in the sky for doing so. LOL

    I enjoyed this! My wife is Protestant and I am Catholic so we do this every Sunday (both services). Yesterday, we were asked to bring the offertory up at Mass and I was about 5 feet from the priest and he busted a smile and said "Love that kilt".

    Brice, when you do, you have to let me know how it goes!

    I wear a Kilt to church every time. I do not wear a jacket, usually, I wear a sweater, often a shirt and tie.

    Now, what is your excuse? (Light tongue in cheek)

    Hey Brice, until then just use a sweater. It's a good look.

    I wear a kilt to church. Not every time, but about one Sunday out of four.
    It's always well received.

    We share our building with several other congregations and I sometimes get there a little early and the other group hasn't quite left yet. I get the most looks then :-)
    I just sit in the back and wait for my group. Take out my technochanter and play myself a few tunes
