Behold the Mighty Kilt

Lust

Once upon a time I went to see Eluveitie on a little tour called Paganfest. The bassist and piper of Eluveitie were wearing kilts and they looked mighty fine and metal; thus began my lust for a kilt of my very own.

Goodbye Money

A few months later I decided to purchase a Workman's Utilikilt as it appeared to be the most practical kilt for every day wearing. After much fretting about sizing and ordering such an expensive piece of nonreturnable clothing I finally ordered one in August 2008 and had it in my hands the first week of September. Luckily, it fit.

One day an unassuming package arrived in the mail

Such a lovely unbifurcated garment

The kilt is made of very heavy canvas (it weighs about four pounds) and was of quite good construction. I'd say it was worth the pretty penny I spent for it.

Why it appears to be a skirt of some sort

After unpacking and gazing upon the glory of the kilt I donned it upon my waist and decided that I should never wear pants again. Everything they say is true: the pockets really can fit a six pack of beer, it is quite comfortable, it doesn't look dumb (ok, perhaps that is subjective), and it is handy to have my tools on my kilt when working on my bicycle.

STEEL

I am quite the dashing young lad

I first wore the kilt in public about an hour after getting it, and I must say that I find it amusing that people would fret about wearing a kilt outside of their house. I now have a new problem: I want more kilts so that I no longer have to wear pants.

No, there's nothing here about X, so be quiet.
