    Yup, Bradley's nailed it. Not much else to say.

    Just kilt up and sally forth and enjoy the comfort and FREEDOM!

    True - but personally I draw the line when working with things that are potential disaster to wool kilts, such as brick-laying, painting, working on car/boat engines.

    But, yes: wear them anytime anywhere!

    I do the usual stuff. Go to work. I eat breakfast. I type whole sentences in a paragraph format. I go home and grill or cook or just eat dinner.

    In other words, I live.

    Echo,Echo.... Exactly what Brad and Ron said. But then again, there is no such thing a an "average" day in a kilt!
    "A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

    Well I have noticed that besides everyday living, I also have complete strangers come up and talk to me, I walk taller, I am more aware of people around me (maybe a newbie thing), and of course FREEDOM!

    P.S. This is my 50th post!!

    Yep i do everything that would have done in pants. The only difference is that people smile when I come into a room, even if hey don't know me. I just got in from walking the dog in a kilt, the only difference there is that I was way more comfortable. Remember the kilt is not just for formal wear, it all depends on what accessories you wear with the kilt, for every day wear I like to wear my freelander sporran a casual kilt belt, sometimes hose scrunched down sometimes up with flashes, sometimes sandals with no hose. I would not wear my dress sporran like that though. Just do it you will figure out the right combo as you go. Good luck with it.

    I wear my kilt any chance I get, to the gym when I work out, a night on the town, to dinner with my wife , watching American football on the couch.As long as you don't mind people asking questions why not wear it when we want.
