An interesting thread, for me there was always a kilt in the house, my dad had his old kilt, he rarely wore it though. I wore my first kilt when my brother was married, it was a rental outfit, at the time I remember asking my brother "Why haven't I done this before?" I really liked it, kilt wearing was then supplanted by the fact that I would not wear on my motorcycle, and so the years passed. At work we had a "Heritage Night" so I decided I would wear a kilt, my dad gave me the old Gunn Modern that was his as a lad and off I went. My co-workers loved it and asked when I'd wear it again, so I started by wearing it 2 or 3 times a week, after that I was given the kilt my twin brother was married in and bought a few of my own, I've been wearing one every day for going on 3 years now.
