Is It Just Me, Or Are You Guys Doing Double Takes Too

[GlassMan]

Exactly! These guys are really subconsciously wanting to wear a kilt but can’t get in touch with their real intentions. We should take every opportunity to try and educate them that what they are doing is trying to get in touch with their true ancestral wardrobe preference.

Lets see if we can make the Kilt the dominate male attire starting in 2006! A new years resolution!

OK, OK, I’m dreamin’.

Would that make the "closet" kilt wearers? Or would it be better to say that they have "kilt-wearing" tendencies but do not feel able to express this due to societal pressure?

Sorry, I just finished watching the movie "Kinsey" on cable and I guess it started to rubb off.

Yes, most of my Kilts are in the closet. 8)

But, seriously, I think you hit the nail on the head. I believe most men would be wearing Kilts most of the time if not for "societal pressure".

Geez...I've ranted about this stuff before! Is everybody out for the Kevin Smith look or what? Thus, I say to my family (when they give me a weird look for showing up in the kilt), "Okay...look at these jokers....if they can parade around like that, no one can say anything bad about the kilt."

He might wear a kilt but will he shed the jacket?

I've also seen many men wearing gang bangers. From my point of view they look like hell (forgive the theology). The other day an older gentleman (older than me at 60) made the comment that those baggy pants just show they really want to wear skirts. He wasn't saying it negatively, he wasn't wearing a kilt, he simply was observing that the direction of men's clothing seems to be headed for skirts!

I was talking to a friend today while in my black UK original. We were sitting outside a restaurant waiting for another friend to arrive). When this other friend arrived, he asked where's your kilt? I stood up and said right here. He then told me he thought I was wearing those baggy shorts. A reverse double take.

My only question is are they wearing it with their backside hanging out? If I can waer shorts I will wear a kilt instead!

To carry the "hanging off the **** baggy pants and novelty print boxers" thing a bit further....why, can you tell me, do I see so many young men dressed this way walking around with their hands down their pants presumably hanging on to their....let's use the term...talleywhackers (found that one in a book of Appalachian folk stories)? I find this unbelievably rude....don't these jamokes have parents to tell them that it's not socially acceptible to walk around with your hands in your pants?

There was post a while back that noted that remote TV crews were being advised to beware of men in kilts hanging out in the background...presumably because they were afraid that they were going to get the "Braveheart Salute" while they were filming. Did this advisory also include the "pocket pool" crowd as well?

I only mention this because I still can't believe that any guy wearing a kilt properly can still get any kind of criticism from anyone in a world where so many people dress in such a lovenly manner.

Their father's probably sit at home watching TV in wife-beater t-shirts and unzipped pants scratching their testicles throughout the entire show without any thought.

I've done the double-take maybe once. I'm pretty good at spotting the absurdly baggy shorts and rolling my eyes in disdain. Yeah, the fact that I saw a guy a couple days ago wearing a pair that was so baggy and falling so far down that he was literally hanging onto his shorts with one hand while he talked on his cell phone with the other. He hung up his phone and continued walking and I observed that he literally hitched his shorts up about every two seconds while keeping one hand on them constantly for security's sake apparently. If it hadn't been for his extremely long t-shirt I think everyone would've been seeing his "novelty boxers" in their entirety as another poster mentioned. So people dress like this and yet we wear kilts and endure derisive comments. When I get a comment from someone dressed like that I simply smile to myself and think that at least I buy clothes of a proper size and actually keep them pulled up so that I appear to have some self-respect.
