New use for 5.11 Tactical

[MNlad]

Had a little day surgery yesterday south of the waistline (hernia). Among the long list of instructions prior to the operation was the advice to wear loose fitting clothing—no jeans—to the surgery center. I got more than a few double takes when I showed up kilted.

I've learned from prior experience that when they say, "there may be some swelling," they really mean there WILL be swelling. The surgical nurse took one look at my 5.11 and said it was about the most practical attire she had ever seen at the center for that particular operation.

All went well, and I was on my way home four hours later; the kilt waistband snapped and belted well above the incisions. Yet another occasion where a kilt is the appropriate attire.

Sorry, but no pix. My mind was elsewhere at the time.
