It always amuses me that here in the one section in the one forum on the whole board that is set aside for conversation about contemporary kilts, the first half dozen comments in every thread are posted by men that wouldn't be caught dead in one. I UNDERSTAND that if your phone or browser is set up to just show all of the new threads, then that removes them from this context. I'm not calling them out or anything, I'm just saying, when you take these posts in the context of this forum, it's funny.
Yes I suppose I am the kilt guy. Didn't really look at it that way. I think there is enough difference between traditional and contemporary kilts to have seperate sections on the forum though. I wonder if there are utility kilt wearers who don't wear tartan. I suppose there must be. Anyway, although I'm not keen on them, I can see the practical application for work purposes.
