    Welcome to the forum from Scotland. If anyone asks, tell them you wear kilts because they are comfortable. I am Scottish and often wear traditional tartan wool kilts, but I also wear polycotton and acryllic self colour kilts for casual wear. You certainly don't need to be Scottish to wear a kilt, as you will soon find out from the many nationalities of those who post on this site.

    As Hamish says: "You don't have to be Scottish to be comfortable". Stay with XMarks and you will eventual get to know Hamish (and his kilts) and the rest of the rabble. Welcome from West Texas.

    Yeah! What they said. A lot of the forum members are not of Scottish decent. I'm German and Welsh. I even have a personal family tartan registered with the Scottish Tartan Authority. Just tell'em kilts are comfortable and you like em. And welcome to the forum from east Texas.

    Especially if you're wearing a solid color, the whole Scottish thing doesn't apply because Scottish kilts are traditionally (though not exclusively) associated with the tartan. Also, don't forget your kilt was made in Minnesota! Welcome to the forum. Use the search function and I'm sure you'll find answers to a lot of your questions.

    That was my answer too once, and I thought I came up with it. Sorry Hamish, for using it too, but that is now my signature line for this forum.

    We should find out who first wore blue jeans, wasn't it miners or cowboys? Then we could ask them if that is why they wear jeans. ha ha

    Welcome to our group. And no question is silly, unless we give a silly reply.


    DALE.

    You don't have to be Scottish to be comfortable!

    there are a lot of silly questions, just remember the only stupid question is the one you don't ask, because someone gets a pic of you wearing your kilt front-to-back and posts it here when you don't ask which side of the kilt is front!

    First, welcome from another Ohioan. Check out the Kilt Nights forum if you might be interested in visiting Cincinnati in your kilt.

    Second, Dale, I think that's your quote. Hamish's is more along the lines of "Nonsense, anyone can wear a kilt."
