Why I wear the kilt

[R.S.L. Kiltwearer]

well for me it's a few things.
1-ever since i could remember i have always thought they were very cool.
2-like Cole, my wife thinks i look hot in one.
3-i do like to be a bit different from the pack.
4-i am what i call a "UK blood mut". so there is a bit of the heritage side to it.
5-i just like wearing one, for the comfort.
6-most comments are nice and i meet some nice folks when i wear it around town.

i could go on but i'll leave it there for now

and how would i show off my Blue ribbon if i am wearing pants!

Because all of my trousers were at the cleaners.

Because I love that ribbon of sun tan I get between the top of my hose and the bottom of my kilt (For those of you in Britain, sun tan is something you get when...oh never mind you wouldn't understand )

Ventilation shafts in public sidewalks (Marilyn understood!)

The look on ground squirrels' faces when walking regimental in the park.

Of course, there are many more, but those are the really important ones.

Cheers!

because it's even draftier without one

Because police tend to get all uppity and arrest people walking around naked...

Love the quote that started this thread. I must admit I'd never thought of that aspect.

I wear mine, first and foremost to celebrate the family heritage, secondly because it feels great to wear, and being used to Sri Lankan sarongs, aside from the weigth I'm used to wearing that style of clothing, partly because I've been told I look great in a kilt, but mainly becuase I simply enjoy wearing it!

having said that, I had a thought last night - the original great kilt went around the body and over the shoulder, similar to a sari, but it became fashionable as the 'modern' kilt that just goes around the waist, so we buy a plaid to go over the shoulder...rather ironic don't you think?

Because I'm a piper

It's comfortable

It makes women swoon. I'm a hefty dude and don't get looks from the level of women I use to. I strapped on a kilt a few months ago and went to a old colonial pub. All of the gorgeous girls from the wedding going on out back were gawking at me. It only took one to say something to me and they all started talking to me.

The kilt is pure magic

*** to all that has been said

But for me it's really nothing more than because I can. No additional explanation or reason necessary.

Because it looks better than a skirt ......only joking

[Oberu]

For Gits and shiggles mostly! My first kilt started it's life as a table cloth and after losing that bet and putting it on I've developed a small collection. Nothing else like it and it's like having a hand full of aces my friends... I'm sure some of you out there know what I mean and will agree that the kilt plays!

Wink Wink Nudge Nudge

[ForresterModern]

Because I can swing more freely when golfing kilted (at least everywhere except Royal Troon).
