Today I rode my bike to work, a little excercise never killed anyone (well I am sure it has but you know what I mean) my wife and I are going to a base ball game with Hosehead and his wife. So I rode home on lunch, packed up my USAKilts Irelands national, sporran belt etc put it in a bag and walked back to work. As I am walking along sweating with the most comfortable garmet in the world in a bag, I realized how much I hate pants. Now I know this could all be solved by just wearing my kilt to work, but I am not quite ready to rock the boat yet. Commonwealth jobs while quite secure can involve a lot of politics and my goal is to last 30 years here and not get tied up in too much of them. Someday after I have been here a few years I will give it a go, but for right now, I just figured I would vent a little.

can't wait until the end of the day so i can change and walk to the game!!

Hey, at least you have the option. I'm still waiting on losing the gut before I can even consider getting a kilt.

It's a slow process, but in time we find that the kilt is indeed "the way we were meant to dress" and that can give us the courage (and pride) to push the envelope a bit and declare our freedom to dress as we want (and should).

Yesterday, I "had" to wear a pair of Dockers to work, with briefs, etc. By the end of the day, well, I was really getting uncomfortable. I asked myself, why do it? Today, I'm kilted and comfortable.

But it's also important to stress that it's not just a matter of personal comfort, but of male physiology. Pages have been written on that subject and it's not just some romantic notion. We, as men, really do feel better--physically and mentally--when our bodies are not bound up, tucked in, pinched, overheated, crushed etc.

Well, let's consider ourselves "prophets, crying in the wilderness," hopefully making the way for other guys to discover what we have already.

I'll say it again:

Down with pants!
Up with kilts!

I commute to work on a bike, also. Now, if there was just a way to ride in a kilt...?

Trouble is, there is this thing called a saddle, which is a contact point between bike and body, where pressure, sweat, and friction quickly becomes uncomfortable (or painful) unless specialized clothing is used. But after the ride a carry-along kilt is indispensible in dispensing of the bike shorts, and it is slightly more acceptable upon entering the office building before changing into regular clothes.

Management has a choice of allowing me in wearing bike shorts or a kilt. (Women love both.)
