Hiking Kilt

“Well... I took the plunge...

May try it out on the Shay trail this weekend. It's not my tartan. but that's the way it goes.

”

“How are these better than shorts?”

“MsDolittle will have the vapors now. ;-)”

“I didn't say they were.”

“a 'bit o the breeze' laddie?”

“Im a convert. Love hiking in my kilt. If no chaffing is better than theyre better.”

“Nice, Ramblinev.

And remember, no underwear :p”

“Hey GM you bringing yours on the JMT? Kilts over Mt. Whitney?”

“I can envision a "Marilyn Monroe" in unison with the wind up there. We need pics of that.”

“It will look like the end of the latest episode of Entourage.”

“I went to sportkilts.com and purchased a kilt (good price by the way). They are pretty nice once you get used to them. As for going Regimental, good luck...stay out of the wind (LOL)”

“Oh Rev I wear the Mclaren Traditional tartan”

“Oh my! Another convert. Hooray!

Thanks Rev.”

“

"Look at me, I'm an attention whore!"”

“I'll need a tartan for clan Mackay.....my paternal grandmothers maiden name......actually met a Mackay who was working for the Trust in Scotland guarding castles. After talking a bit I noticed his name tag "Mackay". I told him about grandma and he put his arm around me and hugged me like a brother........lot of stock in those clans.............

“Dear Stovie,

Why must you hate? Join the love. Enjoy the freedoms of hiking in a kilt. Trust us, you'll like it. ;)”

“And we'll like you for it.

C'mon give us girlies a little eye candy. You know you want to.”

“

Tartans for Clan Mackay.....I like the weathered. Time to get Debs to sew a kilt...”

“I need the Mitchell/Innes clan. But it is not one of the common ones. I've never seen it outside of online shops from Scotland.”

“Our Fire Department uses the Mitchell Clan tartan.”

“XL.... any extra fabric laying around? I'd love to have some.”

“Camouflage?

Tilt

That one probably works well at keeping away the attentions of women”

“LOL@MsDo”

“

Better?


(still looks like an apron --- Betty Crocker hits the trail)”

“Hey Harry,

you gonna wear your kilt on the JMT? Gemmy will tease you the whole way!

:)”

“I think I'm glad I don't know what that means, thrifty.”

“I think you just want us to think you think your glad you don't know what that means.

But I think you think you do know what it means but think it might be kinda gross.”

“LOL! Clear as mud. ;-)”

“You think?”

“you gonna wear your kilt on the JMT? Gemmy will tease you the whole way!

I need a good reason for her throwing me off a cliff. LOL”

“Rev...let me check...what size do you wear?”

“waist is currently 44 but I could make the kilt if I could find the fabric.”

“I have this mental picture of Gem and MsDoo hiking behind 'Harry' and giggling like schoolgirls.”

“that's better than my mental picture, i have one of XL measuring up Rev for a kilt...watch those inseams!”

“thriftyhiker...
you mean you have never been fitted for a suit by a tailor before? It's been a long time for me... but there are workarounds.”

“I made a kilt out of Tyvek and going to use it this weekend on an overnighter. The concept is rather cutting edge; a light and very durable modern fabric made into a centuries old desgin that allows freedom of movement, cooling, and the ability to write your name in cursive with Capital letters when you pee.

I can't figure out how to post pics here but it is on my Myspace page.

“Hey yerby only if theres snow on the ground!

Kilt = Brrrr.....”

“I am not irish enough to wear a kilt.

Does anyone know if I can get hiking clothing at REI like this?

Possibly. But scrambling while wearing kilts might be a bad idea if others are nearby.”

“I just got a tartan kilt from SportKilt.com two weeks ago to use primarily for hiking ... I like it so much, I've worn it almost every day, not just on trails, but in the city, out at night, everywhere! Nothing but positive responses, especially from the ladies {;-). Now, I'm getting a UtiliKilt Survival kilt on Friday.

The question for guys isn't "Why a kilt?"--the real question is "Why pants?" Pants are anatomically inappropriate for men; while kilts are the original ergonomic garment for the male physique.

And, yes, there's only one authentic (and comfortable) way to wear a kilt. What's under MY kilt? -- Freedom

Got balls?--Wear a kilt!”

“Great response, Nature Boy!

See boys? It really isn't that bad.

Now, do a girl a favor and go get yourselves one. ;)”

“ENS...the kilt was originally from France....and if you want you can wear it...ya doan haf ta be Irish, Scottish or what not.....

Oh and a kilt costs a LOT less than lederhosen. (LOL)”

“Who would you rather resemble... Braveheart or Pinocchio?”

“Tilt, quit with the latin. I have no clue what you are saying. Ok, I never know what you are talking about, but that's beside the point.”
