ThinkSnow was wearing a Utilikilt at last night’s Dopefest. Way too cool for words. I have a muted blue Stewart dress kilt, but it’s a little too “ethnic” to wear around. People would think I’m in a costume. But this thing looks great! I could really get into one. I know they make my size, but since I just recently started trying to get into shape I think I’ll wait a bit. But it’s definitely on the shopping list.
My husband is dying for one! I think I’ll have to get him one for Christmas. He says he wants a plain navy blue.
I’d love to get one for Gunslinger, but
- they’re expensive
- he’d probably never actually wear it
- there is no 3
They’re awesome, though. I much prefer the neotraditional style; the one with the fly looks way too much like a girls’ skirt, and reminds me of my friend’s ex-boyfriend, who wore his sister’s Catholic school uniform for Halloween last year.
Mine is deeply cool. I [heart] my olive green neotraditional! In the brief period during which I have owned it, I have worn it to the following events:
- Björk in concert at Radio City Music Hall.
- My swim team’s annual meeting. This required walking through Hell’s Kitchen and into a church, by the way. It was a distinct hit.
- Hi Opal!
It is a surprisingly versatile garment. It looks good with a crisp white dress shirt; it looks good with a Princess Mononoke t-shirt. It is extremely comfy. I would cheerfully provide the pictures that have been requested of me (you know who you are) if only I could get my hands on my cousin’s digital camera. Until then, you must simply imagine me in all my studliness. Either that, or…when’s the next NYC Doper Event?
[sub]By the way, I’ve been waiting to say hi to Opal for ages, so thank you for the excuse.[/sub]
A guy at a party I went to last night was wearing one. Definitely a conversation piece.
I think it would be fun to wear one to work. The department director is a fundie/Promise Keeper. The manager is a super-yuppie. I work with a couple of older (late-50s and mid-60s) Hispanic guys who are total horndogs and homophobic (I’m straight, but it would scare them if I wore a kilt), and other people who are alternately amused and appalled by my antics.
But ya know? Kilts are dead comfortable! Now what colour shirt goes with olive green? I have a khaki “bush” shirt, a blue denim shirt, a tannish dress shirt, a white dress shirt…
Definitely the white dress shirt and a hyper-conservative tie with the kilt. The contrast 'twixt top and bottom will heighten the effect.
Ugh. That nutjob Keefer didn’t follow you to your new job, I hope!
I saw a sigh for a Utilikilt factory in Seattle the other day and i was thiking “Utilikilt? is that was the Scottish Batman wears?”
“Aye ye bloody jokerrrr, ye gone and doon it agin”

Drat you all.
I keep hopefully opening the kilt threads, drooling over the idea of pictures of the Dopers in Kilts and ALL OF YOU FLAKE ON ME. I don’t surf the web for porn. I don’t stomp kittens, I just want to see the faces of those I sort of know and adore in KILTS. KILTS, darn you.
I have asked for pictures. I have begged for pictures. If I haven’t offered sexual favors in return for pictures yet, I can be negotiated with. But I’m putting my foot down. I demand pictures. What did I ever do to deserve such torment?

Harumph. Teases, the lot of you.

Yeah! What Medea’s Child said!!! It’s cruel to tease us like that!
Fine! Be that way!
