I thought it might be beneficial to some new folks to hear 1st hand , what comments you may or may not receive while being kilted:
I was in the men’s facilities…. a young man came in and said” hey the ladies room is next door”" giggle” my reply was “well I guess YOUR in the wrong one”.During the winter months I always get ” are you cold?”…. ahh no …If you where open to anything but pants you might realize hey these are comfortable and WARM!
When I wear pants for more than a few days at a time, I get asked …”hey no kilt?”I enjoy the wearin o’ the kilt, I am not ashamed of wearing one, I have about a dozen (helps when your partner owns the company)…. last year for tartan day… I wore a concrete jungle camo kilt…… yeah I stuck out like a sore thumb….did I care ..hell no, after the ceremonies of Tartan Day we retreated to Pete’s Pub…. where my camo kilt was renamed as the Angus Kilt, a new hybrid of a highland tartan or should I say camo.Being kilted at first is going to be a oh dam “everyone is looking”…. well consider yourself the best dressed on around and carry on your day!
Even my fiancé makes a comment or two….all for the good and usually “a you’re so handsome…..” what an ego boost!!!..I love it.My opinion is those who make the comments are one of 2 things: 1: Ignorant ,
2: would love to be the one wearing it, but are too willing to conform to “society clothing rules”….
be the best dressed and the most comfortable one in your crowd.We went for a day trip to Grand Mannan last summer.. I was kilted the entire time… even when we wher on the upper deck and the wind blew my kilt up, I’m sure the folks below got a good show!….. LOL…… who cares…. I continued down the stairs. We had a great time.
I went on a ship inspection on the Holland America Cruise ship the Massdam last July…. I was asked if I could have my picture taken…meanwhile we are on this ship to find out all the details and to take out own pictures of the day….. I guess I stole the show……. and yes I was the best dressed and the most relaxed and comfortable one on the ship! I guess if you’re considering going kilted…. Just do it… remember a few pointers: the pleats go in the back! wear a Sporran(keeps your modesty)….. and relax those that are looking are wondering……. what is he wearing under that kilt!
Remember
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE FREEDOM!!!
Cheers
