Ah Ha! Iolaus, I can see you need taking in hand!

On the whole, men's clothing is dull, boring and limited. The shops are full of browns, greys and dark blues, thought by the manufacturers to be what men want. Nonsense! We've been conditioned, probably by our womenfolk, over the past few generations. Men were always the 'Peacocks' but what happened? Now, women can dress in any colour, or combination of colours, under the Sun. They have choices of thousands of styles and designs. Their clothing departments might occupy say 2000 square feet of space in a store, whilst the menswear is given 50 square feet! It's ridiculous! Why should they have all the fun?!

Kilts give us chaps the chance we need to begin to break out of this situation. Not only because they are kilts (as opposed to trousers) but because of the myriad of wonderful colours in our tartans, and even in plain kilting fabrics.

Come on now, escape from the shackles of dullness - explore (and exploit) your hidden subconscious longing for colour. Don't be left behind!
