Kilt-about-town

Minor bit of an update - I've been out and about in my "Utilikilts Brand Utility Kilt"(s) a bit recently.

First occasion was the chaps from Utilikilts themselves coming over to do a trade show. The report on the visit is here - http://www.utilikilts.com/?page_id=632 but you only get a picture of the back of me half way down! So, over the course of a few days that involved several trips on the tube and overground and generally out and about in the Shepherd's Bush/Earls Court area then bits of north London as I went and did bits of shopping. Got photo'd by the BBC for a programme sometime this month on guessing people's ages. Got one "nice kilt" and one chap nearly choked on his sandwich when he saw me and did a double take but apart from that, no significant reactions.

Then last weekend I went up to Redemption, a SF convention in Coventry ( http://www.conventions.org.uk/redemption/ ) so more train trips and again no negative comments and some positive attention. This time I was in the Workmans model Utilikilt - even more pockets!

Basically, if you were thinking of going out in a kilt, go for it. Hardly anyone will notice, well, anything let alone you!

(And I can also commend some knee length socks from, wait for it, TopShop which have three little buttons on the top. Look great and was complimented on those too.)

Great link to the Utilikilts report. I had read elsewhere that they were planning a sales tour in England and Scotland but hadn't heard how they had fared with it.
