Considering I have been wearing kilts daily for the past three weeks in 20 and 30 degree Maine winter weather, I can't imagine I'd jump back into bifurcates--even short ones. Ah, the natural a/c to be enjoyed in a kilt!

Kilted attitude transcends geography

I've been wearing kilts a lot lately, with excellent results, including earlier today when I went shopping in an outlet mall... I suppose we have to do this sort of thing to get kilts/skirts out there and normalized. This won't put me off. Yes, there are times I feel a little depressed when I sense...

Strange point of view!

These days, homosexuals wear "Western style" Cowboy boots and Stetson hats; real cowboys wear elastic-sided work boots (like Blundstones and R.M.Williams...), and Akubra type hats. This isn't homophobic or bashing, but just a fact of life. :D ... it all depends on the particular message/i...

Length?

Tripp, I looked at the site and admit that they look interesting. The one thing not listed was the length (outseam). Can you tell us how how long your Practikilt is :question: Yes, I second that comment. I too was interested, but there was no length option. Has anyone had any experience with these ...

On the issue of sizes -- the kilt I rec'd was inline with their sizing chart for all their garments. http://www.mountainhardwear.com/images/sizingUS.pdf I would note that a number of their mens garments are not available in xxl and larger. They perceive their audience to fit and active. -- hiker I ...

... The surprising feature for me was the right over left wrap format ... it felt awkard as I was unused to it. John I was wondering about this point. Sounds to me like the "kilt" is designed with women in mind. Both due to the "right over left" closure (like a woman's shirt) an...

Just tried to order through REI, their "XL" size are "out of stock" (you guys got there first!!!!) There buyer must have assumed only "slim guys" < 36" waists would want this product. See, we're telling them something else!) I'll try another retailer or let my orde...

Enjoy it while you can, Brothers!

I fear, if this story is correct, the time is coming when we shall all suffer this sort of discrimination. Once the practice of wearing unbifucated garments get a little more common--and the question of what most kilted men wear (or rather don't wear) under those garments becomes common knowledge, t...

Concluding thoughts and a sincere thank you...

First, I'd like to thank all the brothers, who took the time to respond to my posting. I appreciate your various suggestions and points of view. Secondly, I have to admit that I posted this thread BEFORE I actually owned my own kilt and hadn't any experience with wearing one. My question was more hy...

Each guy has to do his own thing

So you are saying Scots that don't wear underwear don't respect their kilts or tartans?? It's a garment! Before a "flame war" heats up here about who values his kilt, let's recall that the comment was "I don't want to get" my kilt dirty. It's the writers own position. He's not s...

0 degrees F (-19 degrees C) and quite comfortable

On my second day of wearing a kilt, I made my first appearance at work in one. Of course, I've chosen the coldest morning of the winter, so far, to pull this one. Not bad (decided to pre-warm the car before I set out).

Cowboy boots?

Well, I have a pair of "western style," pointed-toe, mid-calf, brown leather boots, which are extremely comfortable. (Those of you who wear a good pair of boots know all about that.) I haven't worn them in years, since in order to do so, I really need a longer pair of jeans than what I can...

underware?

Well, one could make the case that seeing underware under someones manly kilt is is horror unto itself. Unless it's the briefest of black briefs. Think about it, when we walk, we generally keep our legs fairly close together. If one were to look up they might catch a bit of bum, but nothing more. Ot...

Regimental style and hygiene

OK, I did it, I ordered my first kilt! As I await it's arrival, I consider various situation that may arise. Of course, there is the eternal question of "going regimental" or not (which is dealt with ad nausium by almost everyone... but that's part of the fun, uh "mystique!") Any...
