To somewhat balance my other thread on the board, today, I'm going to list off what is special about wearing kilts for me.

It's "dress-up". Kilts engage my imagination in the same way a costume does. I know that many people here will just hate that, but it's true. It's not as true now as it was when I first started, but that aspect is still there.

I admit it, I get a bit more attention when I wear a kilt than when I wear pants. I enjoy the overwhelming majority of it. I enjoy when people just come up to me and talk to me, and that never happens with pants on.

Are kilts that much more comfortable than pants? No, not at all, not for me, but they are comfortable..

It WAS a "new thing"....three years ago, anyway! I'm someone that likes to try new things every now and then.

I enjoy the swing. Yup I enjoy the swing of a pleated kilt.

I'm making them. I like making stuff, though the thrill and excitement of "making a new kilt" is starting to wear off. I'll probably stop in a few months.....been there, done that, you know? But it's been a hoot, and it's still satisfying.

They're *great* in hot weather!

Will I be wearing kilts next year at t his time? Yes. Why? Simple reason...I like them.
