A query for the ladies

[GG]

Mrs. Jock, I do appreciate your honesty, and I feel assured that you shouldn’t show your disapproval should I meet you, be it in Scotland, Copenhagen or where else. Both you and I are too well mannered people to reveal our thoughts, I’m convinced.

I might better add that I on my part should never ask anybody, how they like me in a kilt or without. So in fact we could pass by each other without too much fuss.

A nice day to you and your husband!

By the way, should you and Mr. Jock ever plan a trip to Denmark and could I be of any help, feel free to send me a pm.

Ladies,
Please pardon my intrusion. I have asked my wife to review this thread and encourage her to provide her thoughts. She is reluctant.

I knew that one of our gentlemen would comment eventually (which I felt would be unnecessary). Alas it has happened and resolved with great decorum. My Thanks for that.

I believe my wife feels she also may be questioned on her views. I personally am interested in all opinions (pro, or con, even strange). Please continue with your postings. Gentlemen, encourage any women to contribute.

Good Day to all.

You are so kind, thank you.

Now that we have a ladies wear forum section would anyone mind if I move this thread over there?

Well, I suppose you could but the thread isn't really about ladies' wear but the ladies opinion on men's dress. Always the contrarian !

Gentlemen of XMarks,

My salutation is not just one of mere convention or cordiality, but one I find rather fitting of most men thoughtful enough to don a kilt; i.e, you are more often than not gentlemen in the truest sense. You take pride in your appearance, which I find rather sexy of any man, but you do so in a manner that is not typical of most men. It seems that most of you regard your kilt wearing with a sense of honor and pride which represents either your heritage or respect for a tradition that few appreciate.

When most men dress, they can throw on a shirt, jacket a pair of pants or shorts and call it good. Business wear? Upscale the look -- unless it is on of those "dress to impress" days in which a little more thought is put into selecting just the right tie. Weekend? whatever goes. Maybe my husband is a special case (along with Panache, who sets a standard that my dear hubby is known to emulate) but when he dresses, he is thoughtful of his appearance and making sure that his kilt and accessories are well put together. Even when mowing a lawn in a casual kilt, he still wants to look nicer than the average fellow out conquering the landscape. As his wife, it puts a smile on my face.

And when in public, when complements come his way, as they often do, it is rather nice to think, "Ya, he's all mine, ladies!" (Of course when the "skirt" comments come out, I grow fangs and froth at the mouth.)
So, I guess what I like most is that I'm appreciative of men who are not cut of ordinary cloth. I appreciate their demeanor, appreciation of history and tradition, care in their appearance and respect of the finer things in life. I realize that there are those who only wear kilts on special occasions, but for you gents who don kilts on a a somewhat regular basis, you've got my utmost respect and admiration.

And I suppose, since I've focused only on you proper kilt wearers, I should add that I can only hope that the wannabe "posers" in ill fitting, too long, improperly worn kilts will decide that being bifurcated is much more suitable to their personalities.

I fail to see why this would be moved over to the ladies wear forum. Is this not a thread simply asking the ladies what our views are on men's kilt wearing? I say keep it where it is so you fine gents know what we think of your fashion sense (Ummmm... especially since we ladies generally make it quite clear what we think about your other sensibilities.)

Sup guys

At first I was embarrassed of my dad when he wore his kilt, but after 11 years I realized I had to get used to it because he wasn't going to change after my rude insults. My friends dads don't wear them, but he's just different. My friends and I joke around a lot about it, but he knows we're kidding by saying "hey bag piper". Some people glare and stare when we go to places and it used to bother me, but now I don't really care so I just ignore it. I would rather see him wear the plaid kilts though because then people would know its a kilt and not a skirt. I wish he would wear shorts, but he's not comfortable in them so I know that's not going to happen, but that's okay. He's still a good person even though he's not exactly the "norm." I kinda wish more people would wear kilts so people wouldn't stare at my dad like he's a weirdo. So long bag pipers!

Good on you Katelyn.

As for myself.... A man in a Kilt is HOT!
It's just a look I like, some women love men in suits, some women love men in cowboy attire, some women love men in Jeans, some women love men in uniform, some women love beards, some women love tall men, some women love muscled men..... I like Kilts on a man. (And women)
It just is.
I will say that it's a bit like a little black dress, if cut well, made well and worn well with confidence it looks fantastic no matter a mans shape, size, weight, etc, etc. (yes even chicken legs look good in a kilt as opposed to shorts)
My personal preference is for casual, contemporary, Cargo Kilts in solid colours with chunky boots & socks on a man.
However since joining the forum and learning so much from all the wonderful people here, I am coming to appreciate traditional kilt wear more & more. Who knows one day I may become a Kilt Kop and be affronted by the casual style I love so much at the moment.
Keep up the good work Gentleman!
LG
