    Wore my kilt out yesterday

    So, I purchased a Utilikilt Original. I decided to wear it yesterday to run errands. I wore a brown flannel shirt and hiking boots. Very comfortable. Well, I had to go to the bank to make a deposit, when I walked in, the girl behind the counter said,"I like it". I told her thanks, she said, "No, I really LIKE it".
    Then she yelled across the bank to another teller to come see me. I got a big smile and thumbs up. Now this is a bank that I have been using for about 12 years. I stop in about once a week to conduct business and usually receive hello's from everybody. Yesterday, I had the female employees walking out of their way to come say hello. It was a good day, I received no negative remarks at all. Quite a few positive comments though. I just wanted to share, it was a very cool day for me.

    Kilts are like flypaper for women. If you're married be prepared for a mildly jealous(and sometimes territorial) wife.

    That's an awesome kind of day to have, isn't it? The girl at the bank may have seen you hundreds of times and never paid you much attention. But the kilt magically brings about 'sex appeal'. This is the power of the kilt!

    Good choice on the flannel shirt with the UK. For some reason, I think those two just naturally go together.

    Yeah, it is funny I saw the same girl last night while working, we had stopped at Chipotle for dinner. I was obviously not wearing my kilt. I was in uniform. As she came by our table to say hi, I saw her eyes check my legs.

    I am recently single. Why did I not have a kilt before?
