Full Time?

[MacMullen]

1. Do you wear kilts full time or have that as a goal?

No I don't, and no I do not have that as a goal.

2. Why?

Because I love my suits and my blue jeans too much to not wear them. I see the kilt as one more item in my wardrobe, an alternative to shorts or pants, or, simply another choice when I'm getting dressed in the morning, as well as the appropriate thing to wear to some events.

3. Do you believe promotion of full time kilt wearing is important?

Yes.

4. Why?

Full time kilt wearing is important if the kilt is to become a mainstream fashion choice. It needs to be seen to the point where people see a kilt and don't ask, "Are you Scottish?"

5. Do you believe kilts will ever be considered a mainstream fashion choice for men?

Possibly, if a lot of men wear them, other men will follow suit. If not, then no. I don't think that most men are secure enough about their identity to wear something that is so radically different from what other men are wearing.

Having said that, since I have now been wearing the kilt, a few of my friends are now interested in getting their own kilts for attending the Highland games or just to celebrate their Scottish ancestry.
