A man born to wear the kilt

[NewKilt]

I've been going to physical therapy since my recent back surgery, and during one session my physical therapist, a women approximately in her mid-forties, told me that I looked like a man born to wear the kilt.

I've reflected on that comment, and have to say that I do indeed feel like a man who was born to wear the kilt. Have you ever felt like this is the garment you should have been wearing all your life?

Every day is now more exciting when I'm kilted. I feel more confident in who I am. It brings out the best in me. When I go out, I feel that I'm dressed a cut above those men that have confined themselves to trousers. I enjoy the smiles I get from the ladies.

I've wondered, how is it possible for a peice of clothing to do all these things. Is it the comfort? Is it the history? Is it the attention that it brings? Is it the conversations that I now have with complete strangers, who otherwise would not have said anything.

Have you ever felt that wearing a kilt has somehow filled a void in your life that you did not know existed? Whatever it is about this amazing garment, here is to many more happy years kilted for us all.

Aye,

Coming up on six months without wearing pants...can't figure out why other men aren't flocking to kilts.

Me too, being kilted places me squarely where I feel I've always wanted to be.
I have nearly three years now of full time kilting.

A friend saw me working up a ladder recently wearing shorts, she said I looked weird in shorts (she was so used to me in kilts).

That was the best compliment I've had!

...told me that I looked like a man born to wear the kilt.

What an awesome compliment to hear.

Once I got settled into dorm life during my "introductory" year to college, I befriended a more senior student who was into celtic stuff and was an anthropology major. Not long after we met, out of the blue, he said that I looked very Scottish (and i wasn't even wearing a kilt), specifically from the northern end, Pictish territory. ...and that is where Clan Gunn is from. Needless to say, I was quite flattered.

Yeah, I too feel like I was meant to wear a kilt. It is more than just comfortable; for me it just feels *normal* to wear such a garment.

While I've never had a compliment nearly as nice as yours, I have had a woman tell me "Wow, you sure have the legs for a kilt!". ;)

I do notice that I carry myself differently when I'm wearing a kilt. I'm more upbeat and positive, and I feel alot more confident in who I am. Amazing what a length of cloth can do! :grin:

Wearing the kilt is a natural. Glad to hear that others see that in us.

That's a nice compliment, indeed....SO.

Did you ask her out?

Last night at a Burns Supper a lady came to me and said "you were born to wear a kilt"

In the light of this thread - I nearly fell over! and thanked her, it is the highest compliment one can receive!

It is indeed a nice compliment. I have never been told that I ws born to wear the kilt, maybe in a more modern american way such as "..you can definetely pull the whole kilt thing off" !

One word; FREEDOM!
