I have 4 kilts and wear them to work when I want to, almost as a dare to management so I can retire off a lawsuit. Utilikilts and Verillas have great kilts with pockets for workin' men that like a pretty skirt.
If they give you flak, just say it's part of your religion.
Oh, I'm definitely planning on testing the limits of my newfound freedom of speech through religious expression.
Considering founding a religion that bars wearing shirts and shoes in public buildings. Then we can have a splinter group that can ONLY enter buildings while armed, good luck getting those guys to court without violating their civil rights!
It's strange how seeing a man in a skirt or kilt feels so off. Like, my brain just fires an alert for some reason. It's just a freaking piece of cloth, wtf.
We are so brainwashed.
My neighbors got a kick out of seeing me doing yardwork in one. Until the novelty wore off, now it's just normal to them.
It always like that but when it is, is nice.
Also recommend Utilikilts as I have their product too.
I wanted to buy one. Friend of mine intervened cause I'm not Scottish and It'd be cultural appropriation. It's she right? Or is she left?
Your friend doesn't sound very supportive. It shouldn't be a problem to wear a kilt, I own three and they're great when it's warm. ... Just not great when it's windy 👀.
Today's kilt today was invented in the 1720s by the Englishman Thomas Rawlinson.
I live in Scotland and I'd say, go right ahead. Scots aren't precious about the kilt at all, not like the diaspora. You don't even have to go with tartan!
