My son's first birthday was Saturday, and we took advantage of the unseasonably nice weather to enjoy the party outside on our back deck. I was wearing my Clark Ancient casual Kiltstore.net kilt (and looking fashionably dashing, I might say ). My wife has one friend who likes to give me a hard time about how "I don't even want to KNOW what you're wearing under there" but admires the kilts altogether. Her 14-year old daughter thought it looked "pretty cool."

But then the surprises came: two of my friends showed up in their new Utilikilts! Brian wore his black original and Mark his olive original. I don't think some of my wife's cow-orkers who came knew quite what to make of it all, but it was nice to NOT be the only kilted person at the party!

Oh, we should have gotten a picture of all those kilts... I was too busy snapping pics of my kid to even think of it!
