Mate being cheeky?

You love it really Si, the glass of brain bleach we bought you was discretely left in a corner untouched.


I love my kilt, I'm not a fan of the shortbread tin image and only wear full dress for weddings and the like. Mostly wear it with hiking boots and Tshirt/footy/rugby shirt.

But the shortbread tin image does bring in a few million quid in tourists each year so we shouldn't knock it.

The stangest thing I see when it comes to kilts is someone who is English wearing one. I just don't understand why you would want to if you're not Scottish. Personally I would refuse to wear one - if pressed I might wear a Morris dancing suit.... ;-) - because that's more English.

A very close friend is Scottish and has a made to measure one, and wears it at nice do's when he wants to be smart. To be honest he looks amazing when he wears it becuase it's quality stuff he's got (the sporran is a real animal IIRC) - it looks natural for him. He tends to wear it with the traditional shoes but just an open black shirt, no jacket etc. It does help that he built like a brick privy and is 6'2" though.

I think it's a shame that the image of the kilt has been cheapened by countless morons wearing them for jokes, weddings (sometimes the same - ;-) ), fancy dress etc. See the above images someone posted to see how good they can look!

And Mikee thanks for the compliment/sarcasm - I'm assuming it wasn't this photo... definitely was due a haircut at that point.

There is one thing no one has mentioned that really may change your mind if you experienced it.

Women LOVE kilts.

Luckily the kilt doubles as many things. Impromptu love making shelter, blanket for post coital slumber, escape rope for rapid departure from bedrooms. Very absorbent too, which comes in handy when you are accosted by dozens of excited ladies.

Now look back and consider all those chaps wearing kilts.

Don't carry change in your sporran, you won't need it, women will ply you with drinks and accommodate you in every way you need.

Women LOVE going to the toilet in groups
Women LOVE spending hours on the phone
Women LOVE using PMT as an excuse to be evil
Women LOVE Made in Chelsea
Women LOVE shoes and baby blue Fiat 500s

They are weird.

Still a man-skirt whichever way you look at it.

One hell of a man too. I feel somewhat comfortable as a skirt wearer, especially in the company of my fellow skirt wearers throughout history.
