Topless Kilting

[Riverkilt]

Alex just posted some great pics of the Bathgate Highland Games. In one of them a young man is shown topless in a tartan kilt, no doubt due to the heat of the day. Summer is nearly upon us.

Rogerson785 remarked that he'd never be seen topless and kilted in public. That got me to remembering that I just visited the Utilikilts website a few days ago and a number of the pics in the Utilikilts gallery were of topless men in kilts.

Just a couple weeks ago this old fat man was hiking topless in a tartan kilt in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado...in private of course, save the lady with me.



And early in my kilting career Mike Butler of AmeriKilts used a topless pic of me kilted for a marketing poster.



And I've often gone topless kilting in hot weather - though as Rogerson points out - in a private area with a small group of friends.





So what do you think of topless kilting?

Is it just a way to show off tattoos?

Is it a common sense answer to the heat?

Is it best with contemporary kilts?

Is it okay with tartan kilts too?

If its not okay why are there so many photos of topless men in kilts in the kiltmaker's website galleries?

Do you have pics of topless kilting to post too?

What do the ladies think of topless kilted guys?

Enlighten me - not just what you think about topless kilting for yourself - but if you think its okay for others.
