Am I Too Olde To Wear Utilikilts?

[artificer]

Anytime you have to ask the question, "Am I too old to..." the answer is probably "yes", in the same way "yes" is probably the honest answer to "Does this make me look fat?". Of course, very few people ever really want an honest opinion of anything, generally preferring to have others reinforce their own, preconceived, opinions.

You, sir, are wicked!
You are on to something here, but I believe these questions have to do with confidence and not fashion.

I've seen large women (and men) who look fantastic in anything they put on, because they have their own style and wear their outfits with a confidence that shines through. Likewise, I've seen thin, fit individuals look as if they're wearing sacks even though the garments are VERY expensive. Posture, poise and confidence can make or break an outfit.

Ron,
I've never seen you look anything but confident and happy in your pix. You're only too old for the Utilikilt IF you THINK you are.

The question IS, because you've asked the question "are you too old", are you too old?

I've never considered that UKs are youth garb- I thought that kilts are kilts are kilts. But then again I'm 19 years old unless and until I look in the mirror.

I DO remember the shock-horror I felt the first time I saw my newly retired father in blue jeans-he'd always been an anti-"dungaree" crusader... but UKs? Surely not.

You beat me to it. That's exactly what I thought, too.

Ron, you're an old, dry, long haired hippie geezer, why would you care?

An then there is that, too!! I wouldn't have put it in quite that way though.

So the question, then, is- why do I not have my own UK? The answer is not that I'm too olde, or too fat, or too what-have-you. The answer is that with Amerikilts being one set price for every size, and that price being less that half of what an equivelant UK would cost me, I'm simply too cheap! I always recommend Amerikilt to anyone asking me about modern kilts.

If you're still waking up on the right side of the grass, you're not too okd for a UK -- or any other kilt.
