Kilts in Church,..your experience?

[cessna152towser]

I always wear a kilt when I go to church and its never been an issue, though I'm usually the only one wearing a kilt if its a routine Sunday morning service.

Jacobite shirts are not costumes. There are quite commonly seen in Scotland worn with the kilt.

emm, very politely, no, I don't think so.

But I don't have a problem with wearing them. Some of the material looks cheap though.

I have worn a kilt in church twice on the last three weeks. In my first appearance there kilted I got a lot of cumpliments and even THE question
In the next week I went on p*nts and people asked why I was not using my kilt I even got some people in my defense when someone asked me why I not using my "skirt". They said: "It is not a skirt, it's a kilt! And is very masculine!" Yesterday I was with my kilt again and again more cumpliments

Since I wear kilts full-time, I always wear a kilt to church & have been doing so since I first started attending there over 3 years ago. Of course, the church I attend was started by a bunch of Jesus Freaks, back in the '70s, who didn't fit in with the typical traditional churches back then, so they're very accomodating to non-traditionalists. Everyone thinks it's cool. In fact, I'm not the only kilted guy there. For a while there were 3 of us kilted gents at our church, but one of them bought a house on the other side of the Valley so he doesn't attend our church any longer. And I regularly sing in the worship band or run sound, so I'm part of the "team," as it were.

I do some of the preaching at my church, and plan on wearing my new SWK next time I'm in the pulpit. Much to my wives chagrin. I'll have to get her out to a couple of kilted events so she can see others wearing them and get over her concerns before then.

HAHAHA! Just ask her "Don'cha know I'm sex-eh in thas?" In the heaviest Scot accent you can muster. Just don't break out Rod Stewart,.....on second thought Rod might work in your favor.

Cheers!

I belong to a very traditional Presbyterian Church, and wear a tartan kilt every chance I get. It is always very well received, especially by the women, and every comment I hear from the guys is positive. The minister, who has studied in Scotland, takes the position that it is very appropriate. I always wear a white, dress shirt and tie that compliments the particular tartan. Unfortunately, I don't yet own a casual jacket, only a PC, which is much too formal for daytime worship services IMHO.

I have never worn my kilt to church as I dont go there, but if I did, I would wear my kilt with pride.

The only times I've ever set foot in a church is for a wedding or funeral. And I've always been kilted. I went to a Hindu wedding once and they liked the kilt very much!

Nearly every week... and I'm a member of a Quaker Church! Nobody says anything except to comment (positively) or question about the tartan...
