I took aikido for a year (many years ago) and I still can remember how cool the black belts looked in their hakamas. Our sensei also held a black belt in iaido, on occasion he would demonstrate some of the moves...WOW....just like the end of the film "Yojimbo".

there seems to be alot of interest in martial arts on the kilt board here....I'm wondering if maybe that's the reason i like kilts....
let me try to explain a bit better. When wearing my kilt it gives me a sort of confidence. Just like when I put on a karate gi, it makes me want to be a better person....just..more positive.
Maybe it is about that simple elegance that was mentioned in an above post. Maybe it's about that both outfits harken back to a more honorable past...who knows.
All I know is I feel good when I put them on. And feeling good isn't a bad thing for a man or a woman to feel.
