Kilted Fridays Adventures

[Nomad]

Wore my kilt to work for the first time in a month, I had to take it in another 2 inches as the gym work is still having a good effect on my overall body shape. Tan suede shoes, lovat green socks with red flashes, deep purple polo shirt, tan belt and sporran and a short Barbour jacket to finish things off. Sorry no pictures as pretty much same as I have worn in the past, three incidents worthy of note today.

1. Senior navy officer complemented me on style as normal, he's a really nice chap who always takes the time to compliment me on what I'm wearing.

2. Lady in the coffee franchise asked what tartan, "Kerr ancient hunting" was my reply, she didn't recognise name so presumed it was non- clan. I explained it was a lowland clan and added some pertinent information, she said it was a really nice tartan and leaned over the counter for a better view. Thanked her for the compliments and left .

3. Outside in the smoking area ( I know I'm a bad person ) a lady asked if it wasn't too cold and then the question was politely asked " your not a real Scotsman are you"? My reply was " oh I'm definitely a real Scotsman, but as to the question you are asking, I'm both sensible and civilised and the nothing under the kilt option isn't obligatory unless you're in the military". I wasn't offended as it was all a good humoured exchange and opened up the conversation.
