I'm 87% Scottish, Welsh, Irish, according to my DNA. I've always wanted a kilt.
I went to Scotland and traveled around with my son ten years ago. We saw kilts here and there. Mostly, a couple of weddings we happened to see, but there were some on the trails. That's what I kind of guessed; they were either a tuxedo, or for hiking. The tuxedo type was very strict, like all tux ensembles, with little jackets and vests, you've seen them.
On the hiking trail, they appeared with hiking boots, packs, and grubby t-shirts. They looked cool, rugged and comfortable.

I just ordered a utility kilt (One with big cargo pockets) in the Scottish National Tartan. It's the closest to my own Island McDonalds.

Anybody heaved up the gonads enough to wear one in public?
I honestly don't know if I can do it. I'm going up to my cabin in Washington the end of Sept. I'm taking it. I'll do some private hiking, but I'm wearing running shorts.
 
In the 80s in college I wore my kilt to parties, receptions, and sometimes just for fun. If you decide not to go free down below, go with black boxer briefs, not short jockeys or boxers.

Wearing a kilt is like wearing a hat: Buy what you like, wear it when you want (knowing your setting, of course), and own it. It'll become your look.

My Scottish great uncle used to tell this joke:
Woman asks Scotsman, "Is it true Scotsmen don't wear anything under their kilts?" Scotsman replies, "Ma'am, I'm a man of few words. Gie' me yer hand."

It won't be complete with out a Dirk and a Sporran. You're also going to need a kilt pin, tam, and over the calf socks/stockings.
 
You need to break the ice and go free ball with one on and head to any public area that has a trampoline.

Here's the best:

For those who've been on bladeforums a while, there used to be a big kilt thread every summer, and a big home-made wool blanket shirt thread every winter. I've not been too active here over the last year, but I don't remember any kilt or blanket shirt threads in the last few years. Maybe I just missed them, though. :)
 
Reminds me of the movie "Formula 51" . Samuel Jackson with the whole outfit , plus the golf bag and clubs ! :cool:

Girl on the plane trying to see up his kilt . :eek:

I've got the bloodline for the dress , but I'd have to be in a special mood . Enough Scotch in my blood and anything could happen . :rolleyes:
