Ok ok ok!

I was on my way to an event that was a 3 -1/2 hr drive one way for me - so I had comfort in mind.

I put on my shoes but had my kilt hose rolled down. I wore shorts and then my polo shirt and vest on.

So I get to the rest area about 20 min from where I am going get out and begin changing.

When I was fully kilted, belted, sporraned, and ready to go is when I reached under the kilt and without exposing myself, pulled the shorts off....

That's when the cheers and clapping started.

Whether it was because of my skill in changing, the kilt, or just because I didn't inflict the sight of a half naked sumo sized guy on the public is still a matter of speculation. :confused:

So I thru a wave and headed off!

It's alway appropriote to cheer and clap at moments like that. Like when the rabbit is pulled out of the hat!

Cheers! Bill

OH NO!

Its easier to drive in the kilt for that long of a period. At least for me its very comfortable . I was at a game yesterday its about 4 hours away from me, drove there kilted and drove home kilted.

I stopped at a comfrot station, and was coming around a corner near the coffee stand and another kilter was there. He said I am glad to see I am not the only one still kilted. He was a drummer with the pipe band. I should have told him about Xmarks, but forgot.

Great story! I'm sure you turned more than a few heads.
I have to agree w/ Mexpiper, the only way to go on road trips is in a kilt. Far greater comfort.

I have to disagree. I know is against popular opinion in this forum, buy I have never been able to get the pleats straight when getting into a car. And the more I try to straighten, the worse it gets! I end up feeling like I’m sitting on a big ball of cloth. Drives me nuts! (Pun intended) I’d hate to see how the pleats look after a long hot drive.

I do think it's fairly comfortable to drive while kilted, but I will definitetly agree about the pleats. Mine usually look terrible after a car trip, no matter what I do to keep them straight. The only way I have had any success has been to wrap a towel around myself and hold it tight while I sit down.

I'm driving to the Glasgow Games in a couple of weeks. It's a little over a 4 hour drive. And I'm going to use Josh's technique, myself. I figure 4 hours time sitting on the pleats will have them creased for life.

This one gets my vote. You see, the secret is in having TWO kilts - one to wear while traveling and the other to change into when you arrive. My traveling kilts are all cotton casuals. They are very comfortable for the long haul, and I do not care if the pleats get wrinkled (embrace the inevitable.)

The changing is easy, too. Undo all but the inside strap on the first kilt. Strap the second kilt on over the first one, just a little higher. Reach inside the aprons, undo the last strap on the first kilt, and use a little hip action to shake the first one loose and properly seat the second one. Easy to do AND preserves "the secret."

maybe that's the only part they saw, and they thought you were pulling off any undergarments, as if to cheer for your wearing the kilt the "right way"

The Sultan (Josh) and I were at McMennamins in Portland Or and he did offer to flash several ladies. He has been known to lack decorum at times. I wont get into details about Joshs peculurarities, but sometimes he even,
no, I cant repeat that here.
