Anyone here wear a kilt?

[Davetopay]

Looking at getting one. Not a full dress(no pun intended) formal kilt, but something like a Utilikilt. HAhahaha...and people sometimes give me startled looks in town when they see me with my pipe.

Since we can have pipe meets hat threads.....I thought I'd toss out the idea of pipe meets kilt!

Ok, so the assholes can laugh.................. a couple years ago I gave the kilt idea a little thought. I got some low back troubles and having the freedom of movement down there while behind closed doors and drawn shades would help matters immensely and I am part Irish, so............. Well, I did some looking on line and it seems that kilts are part of a liberated cultural movement in America.............................. So, I'll just stick with a bathtowel Besides if I wore a kilt, then I'd have to choose the right tartan so as not to offend family and I'd have to get one of those little hats and probably bagpipes too. I just don't have the money for all that stuff.

I've only worn one at the Rennasaince Festival and my friend's wedding. I wouldn't blink if you showed up at work with one.

note: don't tell your friends that are creative the wedding's formal pick out your own. We were the hit of the show though.

Cuz the sound of zippers scare the sheep?

Actually I own 2 formal kilts. Even though I'm Irish (and kilts are a Scottish thing), I own a solid green one as well as one made with the "tartan" of County Westmeath (where my family was from). I had them made for me in Scotland by William Macintosh (in Edinburgh) and they cost me an arm and a leg. Or two naked knees. Or something like that...

[pierredekat]

Not yet.

But I'm hoping to someday stop working for the man, move down to Mexico, and make pipes full time. And if and when that day comes, I have been promised that I can wear a kilt every single day of the week.

Actually, my Girlfriend is looking forward to it. ;-)

Nope, doubt i ever will either. I wanted too for the PaulMac wedding, but he said no.

Minor correction here, kilts are also part of the Irish tradition. Do a Google search on this and you will find many sites such as Irish Tartan.

This is another funny thread 'cause one of the guys at coffee break brought this up last week. They all looked at me like I was nuts when I said I thought it would be great if kilts came into fashion. This is a big farming community, lots of scots here but not a lot of awareness of cultural heritage. I agree kilts look great at traditional dress occasions, parades, etc. I'm glad all you other guys chimed in The Coffeys, Greys and Blacketers thank you
