Is there a suit forum where...?

[Chef]

The "suit" is a common male garment. A man in a suit is quite ordinary and no one thinks a second thought of it.

The exact reason I started the thread, like a suit, I think of the kilt as a common male garment (for me at least) and many on the forum profess the same. Which is why the frequent posting of mundane, day-to-day comments confuses me. I wouldn't think it wouldn't be interesting for the poster or reader unless the experience was out of the ordinary.

These positive day-to-day posts are great for those like me crawling into wearing a kilt.

Reading other folks stories of comments helped me feel more comfortable in my early kilting days. The rabble are a link that gives me a feeling of connection...and I know that the guys on the forum "get it."

That I'm glad to know. As I said, I have been wearing a kilt for a very long time (since I was 3) so I don't think I relate well to the experiences of an adult who is new to the kilt

Naaa, you've all got it wrong. It's all about post counts... So get in there and post about anything. Post about your dog, post about the dream you had last night, Send the kid who has just posted a picture of himself looking like a poster boy for kilt don'ts an "atta-boy, great looking kilt". as long as it has the word kilt in it the post counts towards that coveted kilt pin.

I wondered about that, but wasn't sure. The rules (as you state them) may explain a great deal of the follow-ups in some threads though.

I think it's good for people who are new to wearing the kilt to see the breadth of examples, because a lot of guys are nervous about wearing the kilt in public. "What will people say?" I know I was nervous. I was glad to see others posting about the comments (or lack of comments) they were getting (of course that was in the days before this forum existed, and I had to find kilt postings on another forum).

I agree that sometimes it goes a little overboard, but there really are people new to wearing the kilt who are excited when people recognise it. Me, I'm just old hat when it comes to wearing the kilt but others need the encouragement.

Andrew.

Thanks Andrew, I was beginning to think I was the only one who thought them to be excessive but I guess I have a better understanding of the posts now.

Thanks to all who have replied so far, and thanks for not being offended.
