... and it's been a smashing success! I have to admit, I was pretty nervous about it. Grey polo with work branding, Irish National kilt from Stillwater, basic black belt and sporran, cheap grey hose with saffron flashes, and black boots. But people have been largely very positive (with the first question "why the kilt?"). Also gotten the "what does one wear under the kilt" (but not directly; the woman asked someone else. Really not appropriate at work!), and "where are your bagpipes". But whatever - everybody loves it.

Even found out the guy in the cube next to mine has 3 Utilikilts! He's thinking about going home at lunch to change.

This was just the bit of confidence I needed. I'm excited to wear it to the Dublin Irish Festival in Dublin OH tomorrow, and pretty sure I'm going to start wearing it out to the pubs fairly often.

Now for some nicer hose, a belt, sporrans...
