    Wink Spreading the kilted word

    One of my business partners is in town from India. After seeing me going around Chicago kilted, and seeing the reaction from the lassies, he decided to try out the kilt. I lent him my SWK Standard, and after the first kilt check that night, he swore he was never wearing anything else, ever again. Here's a picture of us.

    One more recruit for the pantless masses!

    Sampling other cultures is a very worthwhile way to learn.

    A very cool story! Well done!

    I'm pretty close to convincing my Bulgarian friend to go kilted. When/if it happens, you boys will be the first to know.
