As with other previous responders, I am also an occasional wearer of the kilt - I just try to expand the list of occasions during which I may wear one. They are very comfortable and extremely FUN to wear. I take pleasure in the pleasure others receive, either in their compliments or in their trying to discomfit me by their crude comments or questions.

Some time ago the topic of "uniforms" crossed my mind. When I go to karate, there is the karate uniform; cycling has its own specialized clothing (almost every sport does); workplaces attempt to define the acceptable uniform through formal and informal means. The list goes on and on. It seems that dressing appropriately to the occasion or activity makes the most sense. In fact, this board freely gives individual members advice on that subject.

(If anyone finds the two cents I dropped...)
