Part of David’s (Freelander’s) signature is .. ‘Why be part of the crowd’ … and that has really been foremost in my mind after the last couple of outings we’ve had. Elaine and myself have been to several events and on day trips lately, and where I thought I might have seen another Cilt/Kilt wearer (especially at The Royal Welsh Agricultural Show, with over 60,000 people attending the day we went), I have seen none whatsoever. I think P1M said that even he was disappointed at the few Kilts he seen at the Wicker festival he and Emma went to recently in Scotland. However the one thing that has been obvious on all these occasions .. Most of the guys (I reckon well over 75% at the events we’ve been to) are wearing those Castaway/Shipwrecked casual pants .. the ones that stop just below the knee … I don’t know their official title. I’ve nothing against them at all, but I find it fascinating why everyone is so intent on copying one another and wearing them. I guess they just all want to blend in together .. making a fashion statement or maybe its insecurity .. I don’t know maybe someone here at X Marks can explain it better than me. All I can say is that it feels damn good not to be apart of the herd. Why be part of the crowd when you can wear a Cilt/Kilt. I guess its more or less the same for everyone else here on X Marks and not just confined to my part of the world. We are off to another local agricultural show tomorrow, and I’m not a betting man, but I’ll bet odds on that there will be one Cilt wearer and thousands of Castaway pants. Will take piccys. Again I can only thank all you guys here at X Marks for the encouragement over the years, to simply just get out there, and wear your Cilt/Kilt.
