Congrats on your first day kilted. There will be many more good experiences to come!

Top bloke!

My first time was at my dad's funeral, the reason for getting it as I promised him I would. Next up was a trip to Edinburgh, hardly a trial.

After that it was on a gay pride weekend with my wife in Newcastle upon Tyne - needless to say, I was popular with both sexes!

Some of us have it easy, so good on ya for steppin' out!

Sounds like a great day, good for you. I was kilted for years at my last place of employment. It started with a Heritage Night I showed up in a kilt with music, Haggis, Steak Pie and Shortbread. Soon after people were asking when I was wearing the kilt again. Don't be surprised if you get the same type of questions next week.

I work for a college, and have one part of my job (well everyone says its part of my job but isn't in the job description, contract, or advert) that involves dealing with the public. I tried to wear the kilt as a way of getting the administration to say "Get someone else to deal with the public instead of the guy in the skirt." Unfortunately, the kilt was a hit with the public, my department chair, and the dean. Now I get questions when I'm not wearing my kilt. Oh well, more kilting for me! I was told by a few of the other kilt owning faculty that they are going to try to wear their kilts more. I may have started a trend.

Keep kilting (and get pics!)

Good fun. Glad it was a good experience.

I think the question about standing taller was a really good one. I find when I'm kilted I feel more confident and actually take greater care to stand and position myself more purposefully. This could be an interesting thread.

Congrats and keep it up. When I got my first kilt (birthday present) last year I wore it all July 4th weekend. I created a Scottish themed game for our department all hands and wore it to work. The center manager and HR were in attendance. I asked HR if there was an issue and they said "No". I wear them almost everyday to work now. Keep on kiltin

Congratulations and here's to many more kilted days to come! Bravo! Kilt on!

Congratulations on your accomplishment! Now it only gets more natural and less weird, until you go other places. Today I stopped for gas, went to Fastenal to buy some steel and pick up lunch, of course kilted. Many strange looks and grins, some snickering and whispering, but no mean comments. I have found that when kilted it is better to do manly things, like carrying 10' long pieces of steel unistrut, pumping gas and buying a burrito with HOT salsa. Don't know if I would go to a fabric store or order a latte.
