5.11 Kilt off

[dogmush]

Wore mine while I worked on my truck today.  It is as epicly awesome as predicted.  Women swooned.*



*OK just the wife, and it might have been lack of air from the giggling but still, light-headed woman.

Not that weird. Scots tended to be independent, fierce warrior folks who (in the romantic versions) got steamrolled and absorbed in to the "civilized" English.  Wonder why American gunnies resonate with that story.

Add in that the folks on that island, and later in the colonies, inter bred enough that almost every white american has at least one kilt wearing ancestor and poof! Instant heritage.

Besides kilts are comfy.  (I gave in and ordered one. :D)

I'm roughly 1/4 Scottish.

I don't brag on it though.

I just ordered one.  They were out of charcoal in size 36, so I bought one in black.  Based on the reviews, it said to buy your pants size, and not use the other traditional kilt measurements.

I shall be deploying the tactical kilt today at the Mt. Vernon Highland Games.  I told my wife that if I am hit upon by a 45 year-old redhaired female making $ 80,000/year who likes my kilt, I cannot guarantee what will happen.  She wished me luck with that.

What are you using as a sporran, I was thinking the 6.6 pouch would be the ticket.

If it's not plaid -- what's the point?

Of course, my grandfather was in the Black Watch early in WW1, so I may be a bit biased.

So at the Highland Games (A), there were a whole lot of middle aged white guys also wearing kilts; and (B) amongst that group I stood out by not having a large beer gut.  No redheaded or for that matter, any colored hair women hit on me.  Hmm.
