I have no problem in wearing jeans/slacks/shorts at all. In fact, I wear them most of the week. It is hard to chase around a 5 year old or coach a Under 7 Soccer/hockey team with a kilt. Shorts/track pants are very good in that kind of situtation.

Also, I go on technical hikes and do a lot bicycle riding. Pants/shorts are going to provide the protections that I need while in the wood or flying down some technical downhills.

But Nothing beat the Kilts Night Vancouver. We do our Kilted Walk down Granville Street after a more than a couple Rounds of drinks. I would then head home to read my Maxim/Stuff/FHM to relax from all the excitments, before waking my wife up to tuck me in.

If we would have worn jeans, we will not be having that much fun and we can even leave the bail money home.
