Why did you start wearing a kilt?

[docr606]

Back in 1987, the Cleveland Police Memorial Society started a pipe band, being Irish and scottish, of course I joined. We used the Kennedy tartan in Memory of JFK. The band broke up but I still had the kilt. I wore it at Christmas and New Years, Thanksgiving etc. , mainly because I REALLY liked it. Then I hung it in that "shrinking closet " that everyone seems to have. Then in 2004 I found SWK on the internet. BAM ! A USMC heavy weight. I hung it in the " growing closet " so my son took it over (also a USMC vet ) that led to a Utilikilt for each of us and another USMC standard for me. I retired in Jan 2009, and now it's a solid black, Confederate Memorial, and a Law enforcement, an Argyle Jacket, a rabbit fur sporran I made myself ( because my off-duty wouldn't fit in a horse hair sporran ) and a couple of other sporrans for variety. Now I'm wearing kilts almost full time. The addiction grows........

I have always liked kilts... I first wore one to my First Communion which I liked being a bit different. I decided to purchase one around 6 months ago because I:
-continued to like them
-thought it was a nice representation of Scottish identity
-felt very much associated with my country's & clan's roots and wanted to identify with these

I'm starting to wear my kilts much more regularly as I enjoy celebrating Scottishness within daily activities. Scottish-themed events and political meetings are mainly when I wear them but I'm going kilted to my next 3 vacations around Scotland which should be fun!

My girlfriend turned me. Then I turned her (into my wife).
