    The largest group "a couple times a week" sounds a lot like the weekenders who would wear the kilt much more often if it fit in at work.
    Many, myself included until I retired, are a bit shy of ruffling feathers at work where income and promotions can be decided on sometimes irrelevant issues.

    Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.

    At my non-ministerial other job, I have a uniform and thus no choice. Though if I wore a kilt in the refidgeration of my butcher prep area, it might be a bit cold.

    Well I've asked at me worm and have been turned down soundly.

    When I come into more and better built kilts I will pry wear them to church. I am still surprised at the warm reception I got on St. Patrick's day. And if I can get a nice vest or day-wear argyle jacket ill be dressed to the nines.

    Yes a good point there: quite a gap between two days a week and seven days a week. There might be many people for whom "around half the time" is a better fit (3-4 days a week). I'm often in that category myself.

    There is no option that I can vote for as it's more than "a couple of times a week" but less than "Every dad-gum day!!!!!!" (whatever dad-gum is?).

    I therefore abstain.

    Use your noggins, folks.

    Yes there is another option.

    Every day. Then weekly, then fortnightly (twice per month), then a couple of times per month (which equates to severa times per week), then monthly, then a few times per year, then only special occasions.

    It is as obvious as possible if you use a little logic.

    McClef, dad-gum is a polite, minced oath in the US. It is sometimes used in place of the curse "Goddamn" but with an intended humourous overtone rather than blasphemous intent.

    Since most of my kilts are currently contemporary styles in rather lightweight fabrics, and I strongly prefer not to be cold, my kilt wearing varies with the seasons. In the spring and summer, I tend to be kilted at least once per week, whether at home or at work. In the fall and winter, less often, since full length thermal underwear looks decidedly odd when worn beneath a kilt.

    rmccool - That reminded me. I bought a pair of black polypropylene running tights last fall as well as thigh high hose. The combination of temperature and wind never got severe enough in my locale this winter to wear either. Guess I am ready though.
