Every man should have one...

[auld argonian]

Whenever I end up in a discussion about the kilt, I always seem to find myself saying, "...I really don't see why every man doesn't have at least one kilt in his wardorbe...". Think about it. So I'm starting an informal campaign to spread kilted consciousness amongst the great ranks of the un-kilted out there and I'm leading off with my top ten reasons why every guy should have at least one kilt on hand.

10. Look at your wardrobe. You've got slacks, dress pants, cargo pants, jeans, shorts...perhaps even (shudder) capri pants*...why not a kilt?

9. Versatility! You can dress 'em up or dress 'em down and you still look good.

8. You'll never be at a loss for something to start a conversation about. You may get sick and tired of explaining why you don't have bagpipes with you at all times but try to live with the burden of that.

7. Easy access.

6. With so many tartans to choose from (not to mention contemporary kilts), you can certainly find some kind of connection to a clan no matter how tenuous it is..."...my third grade teacher was Mrs. MacDonald...".

5. Clan/schman...the fact is that you don't even have to be of Scottish descent to wear a kilt anyway.

4. You will really find out who your true friends are.

3. A kilt can, now and then, score you a free pint/cocktail/shot at any well run gin mill you might happen to wander/crawl in to.

2. When you do show back up at that bar at a later date and you are wearing pants, you may get to enjoy hearing a very attractive woman say, "Oh..it's you...I didn't recognize you with your pants on."

1. Wearing a kilt is one of the most wonderful ways to feel good, feel self-confident and just have the best time that you can think of.

Pass the word.

*Some people are trying to pass men's capri pants off as "climbing pants" or "hiking pants"...get real...they're capri pants...nice try.
