Meeting a fellow Kiltie

[Spartan Tartan]

I agree that if one owns a kilt, that should be enough reason to wear it. A Scottish friend of my wife's and mine, asked why I was wearing a kilt a couple days ago. My response--"Because my son's just came today and we have them." He was still not clear about why...he went on to ask, "but WHAT is the occasion? Who's getting married?" I was really surprised that he, of ALL people, had to ask. After all...he wore his kilt to our wedding! My take away was that he views the kilt as a special item that is to be worn for special occasions.

Although, I admit, I do not wear mine everyday and I do see it as something to wear to special events, but not exclusively.

NOTE: By "Scottish Friend", I mean our friend that was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and now lives in the States.
