Kilted Fridays Adventures

[RockyR]

Had a great time at a "Doobie Brothers" concert Thursday night. Kilted of course. US Army tartan, green hose and black polo shirt. Had several good comments and one lady who was not going to let me leave without a picture to show her son who also wears kits. Sorry I didn't get a picture that turned out. Doobie' still rock!

The doobies DO still rock and Jon McFee even wears kilts! We made a few kilts for him and have had the chance to meet and hang out with him a few times. Truly a VERY cool guy and extremely humble (for the amount he's accomplished) and down to earth guy. :-)

Here's my first "Doobie Brothers Concert Experience" a few years ago where Jon had his kilt on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JV2ecTfX-tE

Here I am on Friday, getting ready to head out the door on the way to Western Pennsylvania for the Ligonier Highland Games on Sept. 23.
Finally got the chance to post today.

Sadly I don't have a picture of it to show (wont upload) but I just got back from a wilderness survival campout with my old boy scout troop ( I go back every year to help teach) and this time I wore my great kilt and modern small kilt. Everyone loved it! I even slept with just my great kilt in 30F wet weather! worked out awesome!!

For this Kilted Friday, I donned my Barnett & Struth Malcolm modern tartan kilt. Distributing newsletters in the mailroom, a member of the community where I work asked, How I was?" Exceptionally well, I replied. (The last two nights I have had 7 uninterrupted hours of sleep.) She replied back and you're looking exceptionally well, too!

A little later was talking to another two ladies at the pool. We engaged in a conversations about tartans which was rather nice.

Who else is kilted, today?

After a couple of weeks on the road, its good to be back in the relative calm of the office - AB Modern worn casually

I am wearing my kilt today for my Seniors. It is just my Utility Kilt but I have it dressed up with my black hose and black flashes. Wearing a navy blue shirt and my Canadian Maple Leaf Tartan necktie. My black hat which is quite close to a Scottish tweed hat I have my Fraser of Lovat Clan Crest Badge.

I made a quick stop in a local store once I had my Seniors taken to their day programme, and the Lady Manager started a conversation with me approving of the Kilt and the way it looked. I never realised how much the ladies like seeing a fellow in a Kilt. I've even had some gents compliment me on my kilt. Wait until my Clan Farquharson kilt arrives in a couple weeks. I am now planning on my Mum's Fraser Tartan kilt. One of my Seniors even thought a Nova Scotia Tartan Kilt would look nice.

One would say I have great courage wearing my kilt today for Oktoberfest is in full swing here this weekend in Kitchener.... I have yet to see any in their Lederhosen...

Currently wearing my Culloden 4 yard box, probably head out the movies with the wife and kids.

Kilted with my in-laws (all rented) at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver.
I'm in Stephenson "ancient" and a coyote fur sporran (loaned my day sporran to the nephew in law, so I had to dress it up a little).

Lot's of compliments and plenty of others in kilt "costumes."
As usual, the local pipes & drums open the session marching through all the brewery tasting booths.
One woman asked if I was a real Scotsman. I replied, "I am an American with Scottish heritage." She proceeded to explain to me what it means when someone asks that question...I had another beer.
Then a dude demanded to know if I was commando and repeatedly attempted to expose my stick and stones.
It almost got ugly, but we hugged it out and had another beer.

I guess that is an occupational hazard at a beer festival. I had a similar experience at my daughters wedding last year with my son-in-law's somewhat inebriated brother. I don't think he has been allowed to forget it but we're still friends.

Full disclosure, although technically on Friday, I was not kilted all day.
I would classify this as, literally, 'replace pants with kilt (and hose)'
