Greetings from Suffolk

Post by SkirtedWelshman »

Hi there.
My name is Martin and I love kilts. I have been wearing them for four years on and off. I live in a little village in Suffolk with my husband. I got into kilts wanting to wear one for my wedding, although the idea of wearing some form of skirt had always been in my mind. I am a Quaker and one of the main beliefs is is equality. The wearing of a Kilt is just a sign of this for me. I feel more masculine in my kilts. It's easy to conform to the male clothing rules, boring as they are, limited palette of colours, limited choice of clothes. Reactions from people has been positive, no shouting in the street. I have always thought if someone shouted out queer, gay or something worse it just shows their insecurities. Not my problem.
My long term aim is to go full-time.

Welcome to the site from North of the border!

I hope you keep wearing kilts and graduate to skirts too - they are great!

Is your husband OK with you wearing skirts or is it just kilts?
