Good thread Glen, It's great to read this review from everyone, and it highlights how necessary it is to stop and look back at where we have come from and where we are heading in our kilted experience.

For me it's always a neverending balancing act to keep things in perspective.
It's easy to spend too much time and money on what is basically just clothing, but otoh, if this kilt is to be worn, it must be worn well.
Kilt wearing does very easily dominate much of every day, even when I forget about what I'm wearing..I will be reminded by a comment, a stare or a new challenge in wearing the kilt.

Overall, my self confidence has grown, I'm happy and comfortable in wearing the kilt 98% of the time. My enjoyment of life in all it's aspects has increased just because of the kilt.

I too am grateful to be part of a community here on xmarks, diverse as we are, from all corners of the globe, that shows me that there are quite a few others who feel the same way I do about this beautiful garment.

I received a really nice comment at a business breakfast, a lady i know well, a client of mine commented on how (in her opinion) few could really wear a kilt well, and that I had succeeded in "pulling it off".
While I joked that I had no intention of pulling off my kilt, I was pleased that she could see that kilt wearing can be successful, socially and in business.

Thank you all for helping with that success.
