    1. Daily
    2. Am a Priest, so can wear it under robes if I have to officiate.
    3. Don't have one-not our custom. But my dogs approve...
    4. I enjoy wearing them, they are totally comfortable, My grandad was Scottish but I'm Australian.
    5.It seems they are becoming popular somewhat.
    6. Sure, the more comfortable guys in the world, the less hassles. Plus Guys certainly look smart in a kilt, whether it's a Tartan or a Utilikilt.

    kilt frequency

    DSF

    From a fan of Mark Knopfler, I must first observe that I like your moniker!

    As far as your kilts being appropriate at work, I don't see why they wouldn't be. There are several contractors (including some very upscale ones) who wear kilts daily. Some Utilikilt models have "modesty buttons" or similar features, and I would expect they could be added to other models.

    1) I haven't built enough of a collection to wear a kilt daily, but once I'm home from work, I often don a kilt if I'm going back out for any reason.

    3) g/f is all about me wearing kilts. She's in a pipe band.

    4) Usual question about motives is whether I'm wearing it due to heritage. I find this an odd question given that my two kilts are solid-color (UK Original and Amerikilt). I don't have anyone getting in my face laughing at me--I'm big enough to deter such bs.

    5) I don't know--I don't see enough of a sample to tell. That said, several folks have commented on my UK by calling it a Utilikilt, so the name is out there.

    6) It would be nice for kilts to be a bit more common, or at least a bit more accepted. I come to kilts from the perspective of one who has ridden recumbent bicycles for over fifteen years. I've seen some growth in that market (even contributed to that growth for a while as a bike shop guy), but they are still not mainstream. Since I'm very much one of those "different drummer" kind of guys, I'm not too worried either way.
    Lovin' the breeze 'tween m'knees!

    Right on. Thanks for the posts. Keep them coming.


    bikeolounger--

    I am a huge Knopfler fan. Have you heard the new one (Kill To Get Crimson) yet?
    It is fantastic.
