My wife loves it as a conversation piece for her friends and family. She is very proud of the guy in the "skirt" that she calls sexy.
[Inflated Ego]Hot as I am[/Inflated Ego] I get so much more attention from the ladies now that I no longer wear pants.


When people ask me why I wear one I simply tell them "because I can and I love it." Then they ask, "are you scot?" Their eyes widen when I tell them mexicans, blacks, russians and aussies where them too.


Telling people about Mexicans wearing UK's still garners the biggest "What?" look.
Mentioning that my great grandfather wore a kilt doesn't seem to surprise people until I explain that he was a black guy from Chicago.

Kilts are in fact the male version of lingerie and battle garment combined.
From the battlefield to the bedroom, nothing beats a kilt.

Older folks are the ones who's jaws hit the floor thinking you're some gay dude.
In my experience, it's those in their 40's to 60's. Everyone 70 and over seems to love it, and wants to talk my ear off about some "scotch" people they knew way back when.

Kilts warm up anyones day. Great for people to just talk to you, and they typically expect you to be nice about it, which I am. The conversations are great seeing as the day for the random conversation with a stranger vanished in my life time. YA KILTS!!!!
Yeah, it's funny. The jerks never really get to me, but sometimes I have a lot of trouble smiling and being polite while random strangers try to start a friendly conversation. But it's good for me, as I need to be more social.

I like it enough to find ways of wearing it everywhere. My local pub now refers to me as the "guy that wears the kilt."
I love being my college's official "kilt guy"

My little boy is adorable in his kilt, and will grow up knowing what its like to have one. I'm honored that I have been able to give that to him.
I learned that giving toys and baby clothes will get you five minutes of gratitude. Giving a baby kilt will earn you a lifetime of gratitude.

Owning 3 is not enough.
Amen to that.
