What on earth would give you that impression.? I've been to several funerals - most recently just a few weeks ago - and wore a kilt, argyle jacket, dark shirt and tie, matching flashes, black broghes and sporran. The family thanked me for showing such respect that I would do that. In such circumstances, I wear my kilt as seriously as any suit. A funeral is no joke and neither is the kilt.

Keep in mind I am a Utilikilt sort of guy. Never have owned a tartan kilt, probably never will own a tartan kilt.

On my budget the fanciest I will ever get will be a UK Mocker.

But yes...of course.....if you own a kilt that costs hundreds of dollars it will be quite fancy for any sort of serious occassion.

I should have been more specific with my thoughts.

When I want to get dressed up.....REALLY dressed up....I wear the suit I was married in 12 years ago.

I no longer own a single pair of pants (with the exception of a pair of tuxedo pants that don't fit but that I keep in my closet because I can't bear to throw out a $2000 tuxedo).

7 kilts, 7 trousers (of which two form the bottom half of business suits), and 14 x knee length shorts.

Confession time, I still have a pair of blue jeans I wear for roof work and cleaning out the rain gutters. I find that I would not like to get a Kilt dirty (even if they do wash) or worse ruined.

Oh dear! Another thread that I've missed! Sorry to be coming late to it.
Trousers? (Sorry again, I don't like the word 'pants' - they are worn under trousers!) Trousers are absolutely a thing of the past to me. I have not worn any, of any description, for seven years, one month, two weeks and four days!! As for actually owning any, well, I probably finally got rid of the last pair about six years ago.

I now have enough kilts of almost every description, jackets, doublets, shoes, boots and every kind of accessory (with the exception of fly plaids, which I dislike), to attend any event that might come my way. Everything from a Grand Ball at Buckingham Palace to crawling through the sewers (but I'd have to be paid very handsomely to do THAT!). Be it a football match or a funeral, I believe I could be appropriately dressed anywhere. So why should I need trousers - ever again? No, not me!
