    Pleasant experiences kilts

    Kilted Stuart:

    I think you are correct. My post did sound like an apology for wearing Sport Kilts. What I should have said is that with a wide belt and sewn down pleats a Sport Kilt can actually look quite nice for casual wear. I certainly like them, and the light weight has been a Godsend for my medical condition.

    They have also got me hooked on wearing a kilt because I like the comfort and the appearance, and this great forum has given me the confidence to wear them every day - at home and out in public. I'm sure that I will eventually get some negative comment when I'm out and about (hasn't happened yet), and when it does I'm ready for it. At 6' 0" and 260 pounds I suspect that any negative comment will come from a distance. Especially when I wear my USA tartan and my white t-shirt that has the US flag and a bald eagle looking straight at you. It has the message, "Cross the Line, Your *** is Mine."

    Sport Kilts

    It is great to hear about your experiences with sport kilt and that you like the way they look with the belt buckles and sewn down pleats, I have been eyeing the USA tartan for a while. Since I heard all the comments on here about 'pretend kilts' and the fact that to get one in my size and with sewn down pleats and buckles it costs as much as a USAKilt casual, I have hesitate.

    I will definitely add it to my wish list now though. Thanks for the comments, and it is great to hear from someone who enjoys wearing kilts everyday.
