| | | USAKilts Solid Color Semi-Traditonal
On Monday the 2nd, my USAKilts black semi-tradtional came in. First, some history on it. About a year and a half I started wear kilts almost all the time when not at work in my suit. I'm in the church choir and on Good Friday, the choir members wear all black/dark blue for the service. The pastors and most of the church members have thought my kilts were cool, but two women made it a point to turn around last year when we talked about it and said, "that means you can't wear a kilt." On the way home after practice that night, my wife said, "That does it, no matter what we have to do, you have to have a black kilt for next year." Lo and behold, Rocky and Kelly's new offering was solid colored semi-traditionals and we got one ordered in February for delivery in time for Good Friday. The one woman that instigated the comment was ill, so I didn't see her reaction, but the other one, who is more of a follower didn't say anything. Another woman who has always liked the kilts saw it and said, "Cool, a black one." So, here's how I wore it for the service.

Looks great. I'm with the Georgia boys: I need/want a black kilt too.

Great outfit. I love my solid black kilt, the most versatile of all the kilts I own.
Just one thing, you need to tie your tie a little shorter so it doesn't hang over your belt buckle.
Cheers
Jamie

A sharp look. I've one of Rocky's saffron semi-trads. There's a lot you can do with "basic black."
Too bad the other lady was ill. You could have reminded her that the purpose of the season was unbifurcated too.

Looks great was on the fence about a black kilt but you definitely look sharp
