As some of you may recall, there was a recent flurry of kilt-buying among some of the Doper community. Well, okay, a mere handful of the Doper community. At least two of us.
As advertised, the box that arrived today contains one custom-built neotraditional olive green kilt. The pockets are full of utilikilts.com business cards. There are distinct ‘dead sexy’ vibes coming off the thing. I ain’t gonna try it on for the first time at the office–I may be brave, but you haven’t met my coworkers–but I’m thinking it may help enhance my ‘coach’ aura at swim practice tonight.
Manhattan’s been a weird place of late, but that’s no reason not to make it more interesting. At least as long as the weather holds out.
Trout, it would seem we both ordered the same color and type, so I’m thinking wee’ll have to show up at one of the upcoming DopeFests and show them off. Whadaya say?
I just got my black Workman’s on Sunday, and man is it nice! Very empowering. Walking through a crowd, people get out of your way (whether they realize it or not).
Now if only i could figure out a way to wear the thing traditionally and ride a bike at the same time…
Photos are forthcoming. Gotta borrow my cousin’s digital camera.
ts, I couldn’t agree more. The only catch is getting my quasilurker ass to a Fest. (I haven’t even made it to an NYCDoper Dinner yet. Sheesh. I suck.) For instance, are you thinking about MegaDopeNYC2002? If I am not lying on a beach somewhere when it rolls around, there would unquestionably be stereophonic utilikiltage.
And as for Miller’s question, I couldn’t say for sure until you produced pictures of a nude Cardinal Sting.
I like this bit of national role reversal! Now I get to be Scottish on a (basically) US/Canadian message board thinking about what is worn under the kilt.
Although I am sure, of course, that nothing is worn at all - it’s all in perfect working order.
I can tell you exactly what to wear under a kilt…see the sig…!
Yeah, I’ve seen the Utilikilt guys at every Scottish festival and Gathering of the Clans I go to…they’re nifty and all, but solid colored (or camo) “modernized” kilts just don’t appeal to me - my wife’s reaction to them was “well, that’s interesting…” and a shrug. Of course, at the time she was in a small Texas town that had been overrun by hundreds and hundreds of kilted men, so the Utilikilts had plenty of competition from us.
