Greetings !!

I have recently ordered my first kilt, and hope the experience (and end product) will be satisfactory. I'm sure it will be, from the prompt response by the shop-owner.

Background (AKA Why do you want to wear a kilt?):

I am adopted, and my birth surname was Graham. I have red-blonde hair and fair complexion, and I like Haggis - so I therefore suspect that there is a bit of the Scot in me. Not knowing entirely who my father was makes this all the more mystery, but also makes the fact harder to disprove as well.

I have noticed that a lot of larger guys (ahem) look really good in Kilts. I have always toyed with the idea of getting one until recently...

Our work has a Casual Dress Month going at present. There were disagreements between factions as to whether 3/4 length pants are shorts, as shorts are banned. The final decree was passed, and... No shorts OR 3/4 pants allowed.

I feel the heat badly. If I have to wear full length trousers in an office in summer, I perspire, er, glow, er, sweat like a pig. BUT... the boss agreed with me and said "I would love to see you come in wearing a kilt". I have confirmed several times that I have ordered the kilt, and that I will be wearing it in the office as regular office wear. Soooo...

I have coming in the new year a Pure Wool 5-yard casual kilt made in Graham of Menteith Tartan, (the blue, not the red one) and a plain leather sporran from St Kilda Australia.

YES - I will be wearing it at Disneyland. Anyone have a riding-crop I can borrow?
