Wearing the kilt...

[furrycelt]

I am a bit jealous of your being able to wear one all the time. Even though I am always kilted unless I'm at work or church, I work 2 jobs so I don't get lot of "play" time. I guess that's why I play hard

at the risk of asking something that is none of my business and could potentially get the thread locked.... why not wear your kilt at church?

just curious. i wear mine to my church all the time, and as far as i know, no one has an issue with it.

I am self employed as well, and the kilt is very practical indeed in the forge shop. I also prefer to think of it as simply clothing, and not costume. I don't need pockets much either, and even before I started wearing kilts I disliked stuff in my pockets, preferring a small pack and waist belt not unlike a sporran, really if you think about it.

Church and church functions are the biggest part of my "out in public" kilt wearing. Being Presbyterian, there is not much anyone can say to denigrate the wearing of a kilt in church, eh ? Of course that presumes they have read some history, which is not always a safe assumption. I guess the way I dress there could be called "costume", but really, it is just the nicest stuff I own.

It is a legit question my friend The way you asked it, it is not against the rules and & will answer in the same vain. I choose not to because I deem it could be distracting from the focus. I am opposed to women & girls showing up in dresses so short they have to pull the hem down as they sit for the same reason. We XMarkers are used to kilts. Most other folks are not & I do not want to be the center of attention while at church.

Of course one could argue that if I started, then after a few weeks it would be seen as normal.

although i do wear my kilt to church as often as i can, i do agree with your motive, to do so would take all the eyes off the main focus and thats just not good, i tend to sit in the back and come in at the last minute so i dont have any problems, i dont really get to know anyone besides my priest so it doesnt bother me to sit in the back so i dont have to worry about being a distraction.
