Kilt Inbound
Well, the weather is getting colder, and my USAK casual is now way too light to wear. My Utilikilts are doing well with socks or hose going over-the-knee at night.
The exciting thing, though, is that I have a kilt on the way. I wanted an inexpensive wool kilt. I also did not want to wait for delivery until next year. I had considered a Stillwater Heavyweight, but had never found a BlackWatch in my waist size. I have heard these are a 16oz tartan instead 13oz ‘Shadow Tartan’. Obviously the heavier the better, the winter here can be quite bitter.
I found what I was looking for, used, on eBay. A used SWK is in the post. The price was a bit less than new, but the great thing is that I found what I was looking for after looking for far too long on Stillwater’s website.
Long have men been subject to the poor and limited choices offered by the Trouser Tyrants. Pants are dead! Long Live the Kilt!

Yay!
I’ve finally found a kilt blog!
I’m a huge kilt fan, but there are several problems: the first is that I’m a girl and it’s terribly difficult to make a man wear a kilt. Secondly-I live in Russia and no one wears kilts here. Sigh. Well, perhaps it’s rather cold, but…
So, just wanted to thank you for your posts, it’s really interesting

Are you serious? In this day and age are you really going to tell us that a man wearing the traditional dress of his ancestors and being proud of his heritage is the the most filth you can find on the internet to get irate about? If so you have not looked close enough.
BTW, congratulations on the new kilt, I don’t have a Stillwater Heavyweight yet but I do have a Standard in the saffron, as with you they did not have my size in the heavyweight.

Ahhh, Shelley Shelley Shelley. I see you are stalking me on my new blog now? I suppose having embarrassed a presidential candidate with your kilt hating clap-trap was not enough.
Are you going to pray for me again? All that did last time was get me some good traffic.
You seem to have a real thing for men in kilts. Perhaps they make you feel funny between your knees? Perhaps you just know you aren’t woman enough to handle a kilt-wearing man? But, why in the world would you think I am gay? I’m sure you’re aware my wife likes the “easy access”?

- They didn’t have my size in the BlackWatch Heavy-weight for months, which is why I eventually went with eBay.

Thank you for reading my blog, I am glad you like it and surprised to find I have readers as far away as Russia. Its sad that there aren’t many kilt-wearing men in Russia, though I did recently see a photo of several hundred kilt-clad pipers in Moscow, I believe.
If it makes you feel any better, it is nearly as cold where I live as it is in much of Russia, and I do get by in the kilt. I am also half-Finn by ancestry and far more closely related to Russians, perhaps, than Scotts.

Thanks a lot.
Well, I think, you’ve seen a photo of recent Scottish Festival. They had the Russian festival in Scotland in their turn. It’s nearly impossible to get a kilt in a local shop, so mainly kilt- lovers sew kilts themselves or order at ebay as you did. But I didn’t catch, where are you from.
That’s an old image, but I Really like it. It looks, like Prince Charlie is asking, whether the bouquet is for him

At Halloween I made one of my friends wear a kilt, brought from Scotland- that was really great, except the fact, that he was not used to sit correctly… Well, that’s kinda Art, to wear a kilt
Shelley, as for me, I found it attractive, a man wearing a kilt. Of course, I do not mean men with crooked-curved- tentacle-looking legs.
I’d be glad if my boyfriend would wear a kilt. I think it’s romantic. And the above-mentioned “easy accessâ€, surely.
