Pro-kilt. Love kilts. Love men in kilts - one at a time.
I know we’re supposed to be looking at him, but you are really breathtaking in that pic, you know!
If you’re wearing a heavy one all day a pair of boxers in your sporran is a good idea to minimize chafing as the evening wears on. Trust me.
I hear those IN the Regiment who wear scratchy wool kilts sew a small (or maybe not-so-small ) square of softer material on the inside front to protect the Private from friendly fire.
My take on kilts: Dead sexy. Scottish accent and a kilt? Just lay me down in the heather.
Definitely pro-kilt. Very very nice…
:: Thanks!
Defnitely sexy!
Same here.
My guy would be hot in a kilt. He’s definitely got the legs to pull it off, and, as it happens, an appropriate family name, too. But can I talk him into wearing one? Nooo. :mad:
(They love me, too.)
Men can wear whatever they want, but I’m generally not in favor of kilts. Dijon Warlock’s picture is the most compelling evidence in favor of them that I’ve seen yet–I think the big bushy beard is important.

Tell me more about this technicality. I’m not familiar.

It is my understand from my British (particularly Scottish) friends that while “regimental” (no underclothing) is the norm, when a Queen sits on the throne – out of respect – one may opt for underwear. This is to avoid embarrassing the Queen if the wind picks up enough to expose your man-parts. Of course, I have done no research and have no cites – only what I have been told.
And yes, I do have a problem with run-on sentences and punctuation, why do you ask?
::looks around for Melis (Kiltgrrl)::
Hmm, guess she never made it over from the other side.
Skirts, kilts, whatever. I like them to wear, and have done so in public, but not quite ready to show up clad that way at the workplace.
Men in kilts. mmmm.
Love them! I’m very pro-kilt.
Men in kilts…yum.
Men in kilts playing a bagpipe…double yum
Men in kilts playing a bagpipe who can also talk with a Scottish accent…I need to lie down. I’m faint.
So there you’re talking something that wraps around your waist and then up over your shoulder? Eight yard is a lot! But then that differs from a simpler skirt-type garment…are they both considered kilts or is there a distinction language-wise?
What can I say? My favorite part of a man’s anatomy is a cute tush.
No, eight yards is the standard length of a proper round the waist only kilt - the pleats take up a lot I guess. From here:
I know some military ones are a nine-yard standard.
They are pretty heavy to wear!
I’m not bothered if people want to call something that is more skirt-like a kilt - after all formal Highland dress in it’s current form is only a Victorian concoction anyway.
If a guy’s dressed that way from his kilt to his whatever-you-call-that-hat, more power to him. If a guy is merely replacing his trousers with a kilt, he’s making a more courageous fashion statement than I would.
My mom was a tall, leggy dame, and she was fond of short, pleated, plaid skirts. When I try to picture myself in a kilt, I keep flashing back to Mom. I often wore running shorts in the hot factory, so it’s not that I’m scared to show my legs. Maybe I’d feel differently if I had lived on the other side of town, where the Highland HS marching band has a bagpipe section.
In one of those television shows where a crew builds a massive ancient war machine from scratch, one of the builders wore a khaki kilt. He said, when he found out there were women in the crew, he decided he’d have to add underwear to work on the upper parts of the machine. Apparently, a camera looking up at him was okay, but for live women, he’d put on some Jockey shorts. :rolleyes:
