Who: Midwest Kilt Society

Our group is called the Midwest Kilt Society. We are a new group in this area that encourages and promotes the wearing, acceptance, and availability of kilts. The wearing of kilts has been around for centuries and is now slowly making a come back.

Many times we have seen men wearing kilts at special functions to honor their heritage. We believe that this is a very worth while and respectable thing to do. But why does this have to be the only time to enjoy the functionality and comfort of a kilt. It takes a brave man to wear a kilt, outside of Scotland or Scottish gatherings. Why? Because, while women can wear almost anything they want nowadays, our society subjects men to a rigid stereotype that confines them to trousers. Few men have the courage to break out of this mold; for fear that their masculinity will be questioned.

There are times that trousers do have certain practical advantages - especially when riding horseback, performing various physical activities, and in cold weather. But does this mean that trousers are the only things we should wear?

A lot of information can be found on the Internet about kilts, everything from the history, where to purchase them and reasons to wear them. I encourage people to do some research on the subject.
