spotted - a kilt in the wild

**ThreadBbdr** · 24th April 08, 03:02 PM

Driving to work today, there was a young man striding down the sidewalk in front of me, obviously kilted. Boots, hose scrunched, bottom edge of a olive contempory kilt showing under an Inverness type cape or great coat.

Totally MADE my day. Yep, he was probably younger than my son, but as
WizardofBC says - Swish+Swagger=Swoon, and he was certainly a 10 on the swagger scale.

It's so good to see others kilted, isn't it? I know there are other kilties here in Seattle, but I've never seen anyone else kilted.

You haven't seen another kilt in seattle? I was under the impression that being ground zero for UKs, they are a fairly common sight.

Actually, there are at least three other guys in this town that wear kilts occasionally. One is a regular at my favorite Irish pub, and one I've seen before downtown (he's a lot older and more heavyset than the guy this morning), and Mr. C from my church. And the pipers in the local police band, and the piper from the Highland Park High School..... Hey, this place isn't a kilt desert after all!!!!

Come over to Springfield and St. Louis. St. Louis has a large Scottish community, and we have about 20 fellows in SGF...

Did you say something about a spotted kilt? That would be an interesting change from the typical tartan patterns...

Yes.. made from the wool of the elusive spotted sheep.

How dumb do you think we are? Honestly! Everyone knows is comes from the elusive Spotted Polyviscose Beastie; It has migrated due to a bit of a drought in the Algerian Rainforest....
