Oh I bought a "utility kilt" in khaki but I haven't worn it out for two reasons. One, working up.the courage, two, it's still been quite cold where I live until recently!weethepeople said:This is fascinating ... I am a kilt person ..not skirts though . However a kilt is a skirt technically going by most dictionary definitions. It's weird that while I would never wear a female skirt myself I have no problem with other blokes wanting to . It's intriguing .
I absolutely love my kilts . I own about 25 or so from traditional 8 yard and five yard wool ones to light sports nylon ones . I wear them all slightly shorter at 22 -23" . Normal drop is 24" . One is 21 " though and is more like a mini kilt in reality . Re hemming them a little shorter is not for the faint hearted like me so a good friend who is a seamstress has done most for me. The short one is a leather one from Pakistan ..
My first experience was when I was put in a kilt when I was seven years old for a wedding . There was a photo or two of me resplendent in the kilt a little white ghillie shirt , hose (long socks) leather shoes and a little sporran and flashes ..I do recall it also so years later I added a kilt to my wardrobe ..I only really put one on for hiking , home stuff and the occasional wedding or function but it's special each time .
Give a kilt a try sometime guys .. It might be easier to do than a skirt I think ..Cheers ..
