I'm a proud Scotsman with the red beard to prove it. SWMBO keeps telling me I should buy a kilt but I haven't quite followed through yet. Once I do though, brewing will have to be the second thing I do while wearing it.

Put me in the never worn one, but would love to column. We go to scottish games every year w/ our 2 scotties. My (step)father is part of Clan Gordon and I will own a kilt in Gordon tartan one day!

I'm a girl, so I don't count but....
I don't know if it's genetic memory or what, but I just love a man in a kilt and the sound of bagpipes. We went to Scotland when I was 8 and my mom said she couldn't drag me away from the bagpipes.
Combine a kilted Scotsman and a pint of Scottish ale and well.....My German sweet-thing had better watch out!

I bought mine custom fitted from The Frugal Corner. They don't have real good selection, but there 16oz is awesome and very wearable. Got mine delivered with sporran & chain, belt and buckle, with hose and flashes for under $200. Oh that is with a kilt pin as well. Not bad for the whole setup and it looks great. I tried one of their lighter weight kilts and wasn't impressed. It was 11oz and not worth the time. I want a real wool one, but that is like $400-$600 and this will definitely do it until then.

My boss just attended the Burning Man Festival, and he wore a kilt most of the time. Not a traditional Scottish kilt, but a modern one designed for hiking, made out of Gore-Tex. He said it was quite "liberating." I advised him not to wear it around the campfire... |

Where do you guys wear these things? Seriously, I'm curious I'm not being sarcastic. My family wears them occasionally at church events. Where else would you use them?

A few weeks ago I attended the funeral of a good friend (aged 55, way too young!) and they had a kilted fellow playing bagpipes just before the eulogies began. It's the first time I'd ever heard them in person...that has got to be the saddest sound in the world! |

Wortmonger, thanks for the link. I'll drop a 'subtle' hint to SWMBO that it might make a nice x-mas gift. Got my Sabres sweater last year, should be comparable...

Well, my UtiliKilt gets a lot of wear- out hiking, doing stuff around the house (yep, brewing), running errands. I turn heads around here(fairly conservative area), but I love wearing it!
