Dart Team Kilts

I received a good phone call on Monday; the dart team kilts had arrived.

About three months ago I convinced three other charter members of my dart team that kilts were the way to go and after a measuring party we ordered from Steve. Steve, a consummate professional, called me, talked me through re-measurements and options. He even went so far as to design a triple dart logo for the lower right hand apron. I have never been happier with a company, and now that the kilts are here, my buddies agree that the quality could not be higher.

We all rushed to our local bar, laid out the kilts on the pool table and I showed the lads how to don a Freedom Kilt. In no time we were all wearing our Charcoal Grey, Cargo model with slash pockets, one cargo pocket and a wallet pocket. Millie the bartender could not stop laughing, Harry could not stop looking at his own legs, Brian could not keep the smile off his face, Al was concerned that his kilt would slip down (he had not brought his belt) and I was walking proud. We all had a nice night, and our first kilted dart match is tonight. Wait until the other team gets a load of the 4 of us; walking in with our kilts pure shock and awesome.

I am just proud to have brought three (and hopefully more if I can convince the rest of the team and the assorted wives and GF's to participate) more into the kilted fold (pleat?)

Wish us luck and look for pictures.

Captain,

Post some pics of the crew in action in what will surely be an overwhelming darts victory.

Would it be cheating to give the opposition a kilt wave when it's their turn at the board?

I was at a pub in September, watching a girl throw darts in a very short skirt. I was seated eating dinner facing towards the dartboard.

Everytime she threw, her motion caused her skirt to flap up in the back and show her panties.

It was a fantastic dinner.

Not that I expect anything like that to happen with the kilts, just brought up a fond memory.

That is just excellent, great picture as well. I wish you and your team all the luck in the world, you will of course be the best dressed team out there. Good for you for recruiting more kilties.
