Who wears a kilt everyday?

[Alan H]

What makes a great X-Marker?

Is it how many days a month that you wear your kilt(s)?
Is it the style of kilts that you wear?
Is the degree to which you are "traditional" or "contemporary'?

I think that it's none of those things. I think what makes a great X-Marker is:

One who enjoys wearing kilts, whenever they feel it's appropriate.
One who enjoys sharing what they know, and enjoys learning new things about kilts, and the world in general.
One who understands that after all, the kilt is just an article of clothing, and that PEOPLE are more important than clothes.

and Phil, as far as I can tell....qualifies just fine.

Just my two cents, so please think again, or at the very least drop by often!

Phil
I certainly hope that you reconsider your decision, your opinions are greatly appreciated by me and it seems by many others, I can understand how you feel, as has been said no place will ever fit completely. Please know the your views are important and you bring an important voice to our wee home. Stop by when you can.

I was a day to day wearer (or close enough to it), but now I find I am a special occasion kilt wearer. I enjoy the kilt and have no desire for it to become just another thing to wear everyday. I like jeans, I like shorts, and I enjoy wearing them as well.

Personally I try to have the proper gear for each occasion. I wear a bathing suit swimming, I wear jeans to work, I wear shorts to the gym, I wear waterproof pants to snowboard, and I wear a kilt for formal occasions or casually for fun days.

Whatever your feelings on kilt frequency are I think you fit in just fine here.
Thank you for your contributions.
I wish you well.

Goodness - don't take things too seriously man. I only joined this site recently and enjoy it. I look at it everyday. I even went to Ferintosh on the basis of what I had seen of it. I think your taking part is keeping the subject alive. I'm often asked when I'm kilted if I'm attending some sort of event to which I reply "no I'm just wearing it because I like it"

[Alaskan Kilted Guy]

I have to agree with some of the folks above. This is about the people, points of view, and conversation. Don't become a stranger...

Like Darkislander, I am a Scot who routinely gets asked, 'are you going to a wedding?' when I wear the kilt, which I do not every day, but regularly. Like some of the guys, I like to 'feel special' when I don the kilt, but I admire the people who wear it all the time, but I do notice that a lot of them are retired. Maybe when I retire, and the need to wear a uniform to woirk is gone, I might join the ranks of the daily wearers.
Its just great to wear the kilt, every day or once in a while - magic.....Alba gu Brath.........

I don't wear one every day, but do enjoy wearing them for Scottish events, rugby matches and other sporting events, pub crawling, or just because I want to some times.

As my buddy Dirk pointed out, he wears one pretty much all the time but that doesn't mean either of us has more or less right to be here than the other.

Now Phil, you can't leave. You've just given us the "Phil Approved" stamp on American's wearing kilts. How will we explain your absence when people are checking our credentials?

I wear the kilt because I want to and it makes me feel good.

I wear mine maybe twice a week. sometimes more.
In fact I was wearing it today. when asked why I was wearing it, and what the special occasion was, I replied "it's tuesday"
