I have a t-shirt from our old Celtic Society that also has this catchphrase on the back, and there have been a number of occasions I have worn it with a pair of shorts or jeans -- does that make me less of a man?
Honestly, gents -- if we're going to demand greater acceptance of kilts from the general public, then shouldn't we practice what we preach?
Just some food for thought.

Not atall, but why would you dress that way at a celtic event? When all about you seem to be wearing kilts, why would you wear the shirt without the kilt? Do they not have kilts, or are they are in the wash??

I think the catch-phrase needs to be altered...

I think the catch-phrase should be updated to: "Real Men will wear kilts." The old version was rather akin to saying 'real men don't wear pants", which is plainly false and ripe for derision, and conversely somewhat divisive even among kilt-promoters like ourselves, as evidenced from the back-talk most of us have offered in response to the odd scenario presented, myself included. Perhaps we should have XMTS T-shirts printed with the new catch-phrase and our URL? The Glengarry Highland Games will be running it's 61st year here in Glengarry township here just outside Ottawa, Canada... A great place to promote the forum and the new message... Perhaps I should undertake this myself with the permission of the Masters of X-Marks?
