So, what kilt goes best with knee surgery?

[dutchy kilted]

I have arthroscopic surgery scheduled on my knee next Tuesday to repair a torn miniscus and clean up some arthritis - just the accumulated damage of 26 years of working outside. Nothing major - all outpatient and I get a few new some new scars with which to impress the ladies.

My surgeon's instructions are to wear something "loose and comfortable" that can fit over the bandages on my knee for going home after surgery.

So, which kilt would work best - a UK Workman so I don't need a sporran, or a USAK casual? Any opinions?

Personally I'd go with the USAK casual -- lighter I think.

Hope all goes well and you heal quickly.

You need both!

The UK for more outdoorsy stuff, like hikes, and working around the garage/backyard;
The USAK for the more "civilized" parts of your life! (all the rest)

The brightest one you can find - to be a distraction from anything else.

Best of luck with you surgery. I hope that your knee heals quickly.

I would wear the USAK Casual.

I go by the advice that seems to prevail here, "if you want to make a good first impression among serious people then a UK-type is not the way to go. If you are just kicking back and putting aroung getting dirty working then it IS the way to go."

Rocky's work looks outstanding. Everything that I have seen from him is fine quality and seems to be worth every penny. Plus, NO ONE will mistake one of Rocky's jobs for anything less than what it is. A UK is easily mistaken for a skirt. Most people (seriously, MOST) have no clue about MUGS, much less brands.

Blessings and good health.

Best of luck with the surgery! I'm having the same surgery for the same (medial meniscus tear) the same day. I don't think the bandage will be too big. My doc said it would be a couple bandaids. I'm not even getting crutches. Which ever kilt you wear, I hope you come out of the OR pain free (or as much as you can be).

Best wishes to you, DougC.

I think I'll go with my USAK casual in the Albannach tartan. Bright but still understated.

Thank for the good wishes.

I had an arthroscopy op some years ago and there were no scars, just two little pin pricks which don't show at all now. The bandages however were very bulky. I'm sure either kilt will be O.K. And it's the best thing to wear.
