Shame that it is less common to see
Yes, sad but true. Gents on the whole hardly make any effort to dress at functions let alone be kilted. Even going to church has gone casual.

How true. The ladies buy a new frock, go to the hairdresser's, have a make-up session all for a night out. And what do the men do? Look out their best t-shirt, muss up their chinos, slip on their scuffed shoes. What happened to making an effort?

Not me buddy.
Want me to go take the trash out? kilted I go
Need me to go pickup our carry out dinner order? Give me 5 minutes to dress up just for that.
etc., etc.
wife and I were talking about just that the other night, how people nowadays don;t give a rat's **** about dressing nicely in order to go out.
at least we both do. makes both of us feel like a million bucks, specially compared to the saggy pants, or the super tight t-shirts that make their rolls look even bigger, etc.
anyway, im off now.
