    At what point do you deduce that those who do not wear kilts to work somehow believe that they should be worn only at partys??
    Thank you, Blu. For those of us who wear our kilts for heritage reasons, many of the events we attend are not "parties", but serious events such as church parades (the Kirkin' service) for St. Andrew's Day, Burns Suppers (which have a serious element to them) and in my own case, to various educational programs to schools, churces, community and civic organizations, etc. Hardly a "party" venue.

    I really don't understand Phil's fear here:

    This is my fear:

    If everyone thinks that a kilt should not be worn at work let's say that it should only be worn for "special" ocassions like maybe a trip to the local pub or a highland gathering rather than a valid fashion choice for all situations.
    If wearing a kilt is about "freedom", then those of us who wear kilts for our heritage, families, etc. are "free" to wear our kilts when and where we want to. If you want to wear a kilt all the time, Phil, then I'm all for you. But please show us the same respect. Just because we choose to not wear out kilts every day does not make us less a kilt-wearer.
