Non-Kilted activities?

[sorcererdale]

One has to be careful if they fall asleep wearing a kilt - you could wake up and find a blue ribbon tied... well we won't mention where, because most of you have heard the song that explains it. ha ha

DALE.

Whilst I'm not full-time kilted (YET!), I have yet to wear my kilt for sleeping. My dear Stringy tells me that its uncomfortable to sleep unbifurcated. Anyone sleep in kilts?

I wouldn't wear a kilt to the following:

Working out in the gym
swimming
snowboarding
running
renovation projects

For me each of those activities has the proper gear to wear. My kilts have their purpose and their place in my waredrobe, but they don't have exclusivity over my waredrobe. I am a big believer in having th eproper gear for each situation.

I agree totally with Colin.

I to am not full time kilted, so there are quite a few things I do not kilted. Horse back riding is one, here in Az. the country is not kilt friendly for this. Usually wear jeans boots and some times chaps, cactus and such. Also country dancing with my wife not kilted, jeans again.

Umm, I've worn kilts at such resorts James. On arrival, on departure have worn USA Kilts. Have worn Utilikilts to the pool to carry gear in the pockets, and when dining at the resort restaurant as an alternative to a towel to sit on. The UKs can come in handy as a "sun poncho" over the shoulders when the sun gets too much.

And, since its a long drive to the resort for me kilts provide comfort and freedom for the drive.

Always wondered why kiltmakers didn't address that huge market. I recently submitted a short article on the benefits of continued "freedom" outside the resort areas to their national office/newsletter. Haven't heard anything back yet.

Contrary to what one might expect there is a lot of clothing sold to that market.

So far, no where I wouldn't wear kilts...some places I'd be sure to don underwear - like around kids...particularly the little ones that are still crawling about.

Well, you could wear a kilt on the way to the nudest resort. I don't think the nudest towels would count as a belted plaid though. I don't wear a kilt when I'm working on the trees and so on because I've put holes in too many jeans, just not worth it. There's a lot of those type things that you almost need disposable clothing for... paper kilts anybody?

I keep a pair of trousers at the kilt shop for those times when I have to change a light bulb. Ladders and kilts right over where the ladies are sewing is a no-no.
I did it once while not thinking.

Hey RiverKilt, sun poncho is a good idea. Now that I think about it the belted plaid is a perfect garment for one of... "Those" resorts.

Not in a kilt. mess up the pleats. I've always had a 'wedgie' problem with pajamas; Most uncomfortable. Then, I had a light church robe made (an Alb) but was too short, couldn't return it. I tried it as a 'night shirt' perfect!! In (sweaty) summer I do like in the Tropics & tuck a small pillow between the thighs. Indonesians call it a "Dutch Wife" (?)

I agree with Bill...
NEVER shower in a wool kilt!!

Surfing, boogie boarding, skydiving( only because a blown up Kilt might obscure your vision) Rock climbing ( the harness would ruin the swing of the Kilt)
