What I dislike about kilts...

This worries me Brice, as I had thought about teaching this summer in a kilt. Maybe not? What kind of problems do you have comfort wise?

I think the key word here is office. Most office furniture is made for other types of garments and lets face it, it takes us gents a bit of practice to be able ot sit with ease and not flash people, just like the lasses and their skirts practice how to sit and what not.

I don't iron mine. Too much work. I let the cleaners do it.

If I had to say something negitive it would be that it takes me longer to get dressed. I have to pick out the pattern & weight I want for that day, pick out the hose by colour that will match the tartan, then figure out which shirt will best match. Shoes? casual or dressey? Then it's which sporran lid?

Cost is an issue, but my biggest gripe is having to go back to p#nts after wearing one all day.

I second that and this from someone who has only been wearing kilts for less than a month

A lot of those problems can be mitigated with real wool.

What is this "ironing" of which you speak?

Best regards,

I almost never iron my kilts. I just hang them up and the wrinkles are gone next time I get it, whether it's the next morning or the next week. It helps if they're made of heavyweight wool and you remember to do the pleats sweep.

While we're on the subject, my biggest gripe with the kilt:

All those pesky randy women that can't keep their eyes and hands off of me when I wear the kilt out and about.

Ok, maybe it's not so bad!
