My Rob Roy 5 yard casual kilt and my doberman Diego
About a year ago I bought my first kilt, and I owned it (the first one) for about 8 months before I wore it out in public to an event. That was first day was Thanksgiving day of 2012.
Since then (and about 4 months ago), I've worn a kilt out and about 7 times. Each time it was more fun than the time before.
Last Friday I went to dinner in the hip part of old Tulsa, and chose to wear pants instead of one of my kilts.....Just thought that I'd spare my friends of having to be with "the kilt guy".....Again.
Well.....guess what? As we were eating dinner a gentleman and his wife showed up at the restaurant and you know what? He was wearing a tartan kilt with a blue blazer, white shirt and tie.
It was interesting, and of course I had to point out to my friends that I wasn't the only guy in town willing to wear a kilt. Yes he was kilted, and he wasn't a Mel Gibson, but then neither am I.
He was about 5'8", #250, and around 28-35 yrs old. He had a shaved head, with a rather thin beard, and (might I add) looked great in his kilt.
Being a (new) "kiltie" myself, after we ate, I went over and talked to him a while. I complementing him on his attire, and asked him about his kilt wearing. I found out that he's a college professor, and in addition to wearing a kilt to special nights out with his wife, he also liked to wear a kilt every now and then when he was teaching at the University.
