I've worn three different plaid kilts as well as a Utilikilt. Got the attention, of course, but never any problems. Its a closed office-enviroment, with 2 bosses in the same room, but like I said; never really an issue. Im even making vice manager soon. I already have certain responsabilities and ge...

Just a quick note, guys: We seem to have reached a compromise that I can certainly live it. I'll run you through the details later. I did however make my mark very, very clear. More or less, it means, for the moment atleast, giving up a few skirts that I basically wear more to the clubs than in the ...

A thousand thanks for the swift replies. I'm much grateful. I just spent an hour talking to her over the phone. It is quite obvious that she does not listen to reason and the "equality argument" doesnt work for one bit. After some discussion she was however willing to be "neutral to k...

Hello all I seldom post at this forum since I seldom have any issues with my kilt-wearing (or skirt-wearing for that matter, even if I rarely break out one of my 3 skirts). However, now I did stumble upon an issue which I never expected. My girlfriend since 3 months back was first very supportive an...

Ok, okay Australia then :) But still, I find it hard. When I was a kid I had socks in red, green, probably every colour except pink. I cant remember having a fuss about it, since most kids had it. Nowadays I almost exclusively have black socks, but thats more due to fashion statement than anything e...

Oh, right...coloured socks as in actual coloured socks then, heh. Sorry, I didnt know the US was this conservative. I fail to understand how wearing coloured socks can be an issue, unless you're talking having one red sock and one green. Even so its probably more of a fashion-dont than anything else...

Forgive my ignornance, but what are "coloured socks"? How to they differentiate from say sport/athletic socks?

My style is always casual/relaxed and the general length of kilt/skirt is between 15 and 18 inches. Roger. Dude...mind if I ask again, just to verify. 15-18 inch? In length? are you sure you got that correctly? If not, isnt that...how to say...a bit north of the knee? Not that I mind, I'd love to b...

Biker: probably not "superior class", but in their eyes, Im sure they're trying to adopt a cooler image (as opposed to a sissy image). So you may say that the strive is upwards (in coolness, not class-wise) rather than downwards.

Most likely; yes. Even though, materialistically speaking, you could say that a skirt is just a piece of garment. However, this misses some valid points. An object, be it a skirt or a chair or a guitar, holds certain cultural values by virtue of society. An object also depicts this value differently...

Binx: the thing in front is a hipster-bag (or whatever you call them in English). I got it from a rave/techno-store. And you're correct; the pendant is indeed a cross. How so? I dont see how that could be a deal... bcmtnbka: Thanks, I've always myself told myself not to give up on what I believe to ...

The boots? Oh no...you can throw away all my kilts in my closet, but the boots stay! They're religion to me.

Very interesting! Thanks for the feedback, lads. The reaction I got on the community forum (catering for goths/EBM/darkwave/rock-people) was almost entirely negative. The worst being "you look like a dad trying to be 16 again. That one pretty bummed me out. I've always been a sub-cultural being...

I posted this picture on another forum (community forum), and got a few remarks. Now I'd be interested to hear your opinions. Afterwards, I'll tell you all what the community people thought about the look. The pic can be found by clicking this link: http://web.telia.com/~u70206119/Foto/Kilten.jpg An...
