Am I the only one?

[freep]

As a merrily trip through the assorted threads of X marks something occurs to me. . .

Could I be the only redneck slob on the board??

My usual daily wear is jeans, a t-shirt (sometimes logo'ed, sometimes not) and ball cap (sometimes a boonie hat, sock hat, balmoral or cowboy hat). Hoodie or jacket if it's cold.

I'm guessing that once the UT kilt gets here (Saturday according to the tracking number) I'm guessing the only thing that's gonna change is the leg covering.

It's my fervent hope this lack of sartorial concern won't make me a total outcast.


By the same token, when I get 'round to a Great kilt or the wee version thereof, I'll probably go with a early type of workshirt, jus' 'cause.

You're definitely not the only one. I can dress a kilt down pretty far. I walked the dog last night in my new acquired (but old) Utiliklit Original with regular blak socks, work boots and a t-shirt. The night prior it was pretty much the same with running shoes (trainers) and an Adidas fleece pullover.

However, I'll also wear the kilt (usually a tartan) a little more "cleaned up" with hose/flashes, a nicer casual shirt or dress shirt with a tie. I'm all over the map with how I dress.

While I wouldn`t refer to myself as a "redneck slob," I have always been a pretty casual dresser. As a result of hanging around this place I am (slowly) raising my standards, and finding that I enjoy looking fairly well turned out on occasion. There are those here who wouldn`t think of donning a kilt without looking pretty darned smart about it, as well as those who think of the kilt as just an alternative to pants, but I think we all like to get dressed up from time to time.

Sir, you are not alone. I'm a filthy animal when I'm working (digging holes & climbin poles), and in shorts and no sleeves when I'm not. Probably look like a friggin Heilan coo stuffed in a kilt, with the hair to match!

I work in radio and its a very casual environment. My uniform is shorts, t-shirt, and flip flops. Most of the time when I am in my kilt its with a t-shirt.

You are not alone.
While observing with my telescope at a star party on top of Mount Ogden for the Snow Basin Ski Resort at 8700 feet late this September, I was wearing a coat, kilt, knee high socks and cowboy hat. The viewing was great and we had a lot folks who came up the tram to see what was in our scopes. It was rather cold in the evening and I was asked if I was cold. I indicated that as long as the wind did not blow, I was fine, since the kilt was like a native American teepee and kept the warmth in place.
Yes, we are out there, few in number, but we are there.

Sounds like me, except for the jeans! I haven't owned a pair of blue jeans in over 20 years. My son, 25 and off to college, has never owned a pair, and my daughter, 21, recently bought the first pair she has ever owned.

Here "cargo shorts" (which we had to define for Jock Scot) are at least as common as blue jeans, and t-shirts and baseball caps and zorries/sandals/flip-flops or Vans or the like complete the Californian's outfit.

I have to wear slacks and a necktie at my Day Job, and kilts and jacket and necktie when I'm piping, so when I'm not doing these things it's all about comfort.

About the Balmoral, wearing one of the hats from my Highland Dress with my ordinary casual clothes wouldn't have occurred to me.

But I do do the opposite: wearing ordinary hats when kilted if at a hot sunny Highland Games.

In the recording studio: pipers when they don't have to put on the kilts!

I'm second from left, in my usual garb. The guy on the far right is the only Scotsman, in blue jeans of course.

I'm taking "redneck slob" to be a euphemism - so I'll raise my hand. I can "dress up" in a kilt (for the proper venue or gathering) but prefer to be casual. In fact I prefer very casual - like this quasi "greaser look" in my black AmeriKilt.

I suspect this will be my usual mode du jour. . . . 'cept maybe with a ballcap.

I like it. Kinda like a cross between Duncan on Monarch of the Glen and Ed on Northern Exposure.
