Kilted men?

I'm going for lunch with my mother tomorrow, and I will be wearing my kilt! I'll be sure to get a few pictures!
Here I am in my family hunting tartan: MacDonald of the Isles. I love wearing these things, they're extremely comfortable, and I must say, the ladies (and by that I mean my wife) don't mind em' either.
I've worn a kilt for years. As a pipe band drummer...not as any kind of "tourist".
Dallas Scottish Festival
Stone Mountain Georgia
They're warm in the winter and cool in the summer. And very expensive.
The women love 'em! And anyone wearing anything under a real kilt, (not one of those utili-whatevers), is just....wrong.
Sorry....we who've been taught to wear them correctly have many pet-peaves about the incorrect wearing of one.

I agree with one more rule:
If you wear your kilt above your knees, you're a boy
If you wear your kilt at your knees, you're a man
If you wear your kilt below your knees, you're dreaming.

Hobie buddy,....of all of the women I ever played with, zero of them claimed to go "regimental"....they all unfortunately wore shorts, sorry. :D
On a side note, a kilt is a man's military garment...and unless in a band and wearing it as a uniform, women don't wear them.

I'm sure they keep your ass warm just fine. :

Never regretted the day I changed from tighty whities to boxer shorts!

I am the State Commissioner for my clan society, and also active in my local St. Andrew's Society. I wear the kilt regularly.
We should remember, though, that although in the old days, a man's shirt came down to his knees, and was his undergarment.
Here is yours truly a couple of years back, for Tartan Day. This was taken at my church.

@Tommy, noticed your post earlier in the thread from a year ago.
I'd be interested to hear who you think is entitled to wear a kilt and who, merely "tourists," are not?
I greatly respect your status as a pipe band drummer, but I wonder if your comments don't reflect a bit of the "more Celtic than thou" strain of snobbery that sometimes come to the fore among those who value their history and heritage. (I've had some interesting comments from generations-removed Scotts who wanted to call into doubt the propriety of an Irish descendant in a kilt.)
Of course, this is the internet, where it's often easier to misunderstand that to understand. So if I've misunderstood you, just say so. Dia duit.

Yes, he seemed to get offended quite easily, I really enjoyed him though...I just LOVE everybody. :nana:
@Jud. What tartan is that? At first I thought it might be MacKay (my clan), but on closer exam it doesn't seem to be so.
I finally got around to having my kilt let out so I can wear it. Somehow, over the past 26 years it shrank around the waist....
