I just tried your suggestion and didn't think it looked bad at all. Better with tartan than with the jet black kilt methinks. I did realize that 1. my tennies are grubby, tatterd and need replacing, 2. I've got a couple of ugly bruises on my legs I never noticed, 3. it's way more comfortable than shorts. We'll see what my wife says when she gets back later tonight. 8)
