    UK Original Model in Desert Camo

    Here's my latest acquisition. Didn't know I wanted it until I called and found they had one in stock in my size. (I believe this fabric has been discontinued.)



    I wore it all weekend, including to my kid's soccer games, local events, and to Pier 39, the big tourist shopping venue in San Francisco. I am really finding that the self consciousness is starting fade, and that once people who know you have seen you once in a kilt, they are no longer surprised to see you a second time.

    Got a few positive comments: at the local events one teenage girl said that her father wears kilts all the time, and one person asked if it was an "army kilt" and wanted to find out where to get one for a friend. At Pier 39 a sales person commented that he hadn't seen a kilt since Burning Man, and we chatted a bit about that. I heard one person identify it as a UK to his friend, but generally I felt anonymous among the crowds of tourists, which was fine by me.

    I am still waiting for UK to get Workmans back in stock in my size, and then I'll have enough UKs (4) to keep me happy for awhile.

    Best regards,

    Jake
