Welcome,
I live in a small town of 7,000 in the canyonlands of the American West. Folks here are redneck as they come. I'm the only kilted one in town but already I hear, "Where's your kilt?" if I happen to be wearing pants.
Enjoy it.

Hermann, you're not alone in Germany with your kilt. I shipped three over there, and all three thought they were the ONLY guys in Germany with kilts. 
When I was in Euerdorf, I wore my kilt everyday, and got nothing but great reactions! Of course that was during Octoberfest, so they probably thought I was just a blurry, masculine looking woman... but hey!
Welcome to the board!
Arise. Kill. Eat.

Welcome Hermann
As Jamie mentioned, we don't all get support at home for wearing a kilt. It was a point of discussion yesterday at my house.
But there are a bunch of great guys for support here.

Forgot to mention, you may be interested in the Macabi Skirt folks, even though made for the rivers of the U.S. canyonlands. www.macabiskirt.com click on the men's version. Got one last week, really like it for knocking around the house. I also wear pareos/sarongs around the house but worry they might fall off in public...the Macabi skirt doesn't have the worries. Like it over kilts at home since don't have to worry about putting creases in any pleats when sitting for a long time.

Hilarious Jimmy!

Sorry to have missed this post...
Welcome Hermann
really great to see you here, you say you've been here, but I've never been to Germany.
Erzählen Sie uns mehr von Ihren Kilt-Erfahrungen
Gott segnet Sie und genießt die Seite

longyi, sarong, pareo, Macabi
What are the advantages/disadvantages of these compared to kilts?
