    Any time I go out of the house, with 2 exceptions - (1) when I'm riding my bicycle (I bring my kilt with me & change at my destination) & (2) occasionally a client for my DJing services (a professional hobby) prefers I wear pants to their event (my view is, you pay me enough money, I'll wear pants! )

    2) (If you wear it daily) What profession allows this sort of dress?
    I'm a senior software engineer at a major Fortune 500 company that strongly supports diversity & equality.

    3) How does your significant other feel about it?
    After over 4 years of being kilted, my wife is resigned to me wearing kilts, but she'd prefer I wear pants some of the time because she says it shows off my butt better.

    4) How do you respond to people who question your motives for wearing the kilt?
    Depends on how they ask. I'll try to be polite, but I don't have to justify wearing a kilt to anyone & I don't try! To quote a Lovin' Spoonful song, "It's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout Rock 'n' Roll..." If they don't get it, you're wasting your time trying to explain it.

    5) Do you think kilts are becoming more popular?
    Obviously, this forum is proof that more men are wearing them regularly nowadays, but the numbers are still so incredibly small that the kilt is a lo-o-ong way from being considered "popular."

    6) Do you really want them to be more popluar?
    I don't really care one way or the other. I'd just like the general public to be acclimated enough to them that they stop asking such stupid & inappropriate questions!

    Welllll, technically one can show off their butt easier in a kilt, just turn, grab the pleats...
