"Jealous?"

Meh.

It's a skirt, nothing wrong with that. They're niche, overpriced, heavy, multi-pleated, tailored skirts for men, nothing more nothing less. I completely understand how they're comfortable, and in some circumstances practical, but shorts work just fine on the trail with no chafe issues. For me, kilts aren't the right tool for the job.

Yeah, I don't get them either.

If you think they look cool, more power to you, I don't judge anyone there.
But for what they do, they're heavy and have a whole lot of extra fabric flapping around.

I'd be far more impressed with someone rocking a loin cloth or pEnis gourd.

I'll stick with small/light running shorts and my gourd for special occasions.

Skirt/kilt on 03/16/2011 07:48:18 MDT Print View

See. Now this is why I love BPL (other than the great practical information). Lively and entertaining conversation. Call it what you will, kilt, skirt, man dress. Makes no difference to me if it's comfortable and gets the job done. Not sure why it's "fundamentally wrong", but to each their own. Now running down the trail wearing a gourd on your member might be a little wrong. At least from a purely visual aesthetic sense.

What does it say about a guys If he's wearing a patagonia "micro puff" jacket? And a skirt...er kilt?
Somebody find Doug I. He'll know the answer.

Ha! Thanks for that Doug, my ribs hurt. So true, UL'ers are often an odd bunch with varying degrees and shades of weird and unsightly. The man in the poochy down pants and questionable bulges, whose identity is unknown has changed my perspective on kilts, they're not that bad relatively. Doug, I do believe you owe Tony an apology though. ;-)

There has been a resurgence of kilt-wearing in Scotland.

It was found that the sound of zippers stampedes the sheep....
