Like others who have posted I would have been embarrassed to wear a kilt as a youngster - peer pressure etc... First time I wore a kilt was for a charity event when I was 38 - a cheap second hand black watch from a thrift shop which didn't fit particularly well, but I was hooked and immediately afterwards ordered a new made to measure one - I was already into Scottish Country dancing and my new kilt replaced the trousers for this activity. Then I took up piping - another kilted activity. But I first wore a kilt for everyday wear at the age of 51 when I sustained a leg injury and couldn't get into trousers so went into work kilted. Much to my surprise, the kilt was very well received by management, colleagues and customers, and proved very comfortable for office work.
