I always though kilts were VERY cool. A few years ago, while at the Maryland RenFair, I was in Wolfstone Kilts booth, (drooling) They had a 5 yard piece of double wide wool-poly blend in an approximation of Royal Stuart, they were selling as a great kilt. The price was doable. Michele said OK. They took me in back, helped me on with it, and I was hooked. THIS is the way a man is supposed to dress, at least that is the feeling I had. I still have the great kilt, but almost never wear it, I really prefer the tailored version. But I only wear trousers when there is a compelling reason not to be kilted.
