Olive Amerikilt Arrival

[Norm]

Finally got the olive color AmeriKilt I ordered a week and a half ago. It is a utility type kilt for just bopping around in, like you would a pair of denim short pants. Being new, it is pretty stiff but according to the washing directions it really softens up after repeated washings. Looks to me to be very well made with plenty of belt loops, back pocket and sporran-pouch in front. I took it for a "test drive" and went out to the back yard with a hula hoe to annihilate some weeds for an hour or so, just to get used to the feeling of being outside in a kilt. One thing I discovered, windy weather is NOT kilt-friendly. At our high altitude location, the winds rip. It was blowing 35-45 gusting 50 today, and my AmeriKilt kind of "bloomed upwards" a few times, which is.... uh... not cool . That is why I did the yard work in my BACK yard; no one around. Good thing.

Also, wore my nicer Sport Kilt and accessories whilst dispensing candy and Gospel tracts on halloween evening. Got a number of positive compliments (all from the moms attending their kids); also let those at the door that it is not a "costume" but the real deal, my being part Scottish. It was fun. Attached is a photo of same.

The next part of my courage exercise (when the wind finally quits) is to annihilate weeds in my FRONT yard whilst kilted.
