This thread has really got me thinking about my own attitudes and habits of kilt wearing. I too had once thought that daily kilt wear would be great but now more clearly understand my own "reasons" for wearing a kilt at all. The fact of the matter is I rarely wear a kilt "out and about" in public and even then almost always when there is some "special" reason for doing so (highland games, special celebration of some sort). On the other hand, I sometimes find a kilt just more comfortable than trousers and since I am retired and spend most of my time around the house/farm, others rarely see me kilted except my nearest neighbors (who aren't near) or when some delivery man comes to the house. I always wear a "traditional" 8 yd kilt and in the rare occasion where I might be seen by someone, always with a kilt jacket, waistcoat, tattersall shirt (usually) and tie. In short (too late) the kilt IS special for most occasions and when it isn't, it's just more comfortable clothing -- except when it isn't, like when hauling hay for the critters
