Kilt, the entire Redcoat uniform, & Brown Bess musket for Revolutionary War reenactment group, Fraser's Highlanders.
Also wore a MacLeod tartan for various gatherings. Kilt and coat were wool, bearskin hat had no ventilation. It got hot as Hell during Summer reenactments. |

I got married in a kilt, along with all my brothers and assorted groomsmen. There was some interesting discussion about keg stand logistics that was solved by politely asking the wedding photographer to stop shooting.
My Texan relatives sure thought it was a hoot, and were duly humbled when our various sporran were revealed to contain flasks, knives, glocks, etc. In the spirit of multiculturalism, I did attempt a short haka with a bro. Kilts are not made for haka, the geometry is all wrong. |

So if you're an American of any kind, celebrating St. Patrick's day makes you a "plastic paddy", yet some dude named McSomething who may have had some ancestor from Scotland (whether or not they've been within 1000 miles of Scotland is immaterial) is "celebrating their heritage", when they wear a kilt.
Got it. (I personally don't give a crap what you choose to wear, but I'll call a dork a dork when I see one) |

I would say there are two sides, but most folks from the big picture POV only see one type. There are the folks in kilts and swords, or any other ethic group who do living history education. Then there are those people in crocheted chainmail and elf ears......... We're not talking about living history here. Special costumes are fine for special activities. Just like a fedora is fine if you're at a costume party. But we're talking about going about your daily life in 'look at me' gear. |

I wore a skirt once, I got really drunk and puked all over my clothes, the only clothes my female friend had that were clean and would fit was a white shirt from her husband and one of her skirts. (this is long story, no I didn't do anything that night that would get me in trouble with her husband who is also a friend. Yes we did sleep together a few times when she was engaged to said husband years earlier. We are all still really good friends, husband knows about it.)
My friend from work was coming down to pick me up so we could play paintball the next day, I was still really drunk and hungover from the previous night, he drove me to my truck so I could get the clothes I had for paintball he then drove me to the paintball field. Where I felt really shitty for about 4 hrs, drank two gallons of water, puked some more, then felt great. To this day he still won't let it go about him giving me ride to my truck in a skirt. |

When I was young a make up artist woman I knew dressed me up with a skirt, blouse, fake boobs, and ass made out of some osrt of rubber like stuff. Her make-up work was unbelievable and when I looked in the mirror I remember thinking, damn, I make a good looking woman. We went to a party where I knew nearly everyone, and at first nobody knew it was me. A man I knew came up to me and gave me a look that told me he was thinking of me in a way I didn't like. He started talking while giving me what I assume was his flirting looks. I played along as long as I could without saying hardly anything, and when I did, with my best impression of a woman. Didn't take long and he knew something was up. When he found out it was me he was embarrassed as hell. I was like, this is some weird shit.

I have a "thing"--I think it's called a sarong--that I wear in place of a summer robe. My first MIL bought me one decades ago and I wore it until it was worn out, then my wife made me a new one a few years ago. It's camo material and is held with velcro. I refer to it as my "skirt" and DGAF what anyone thinks about me wearing it. ::shrug::

If I was an attention whore, I'd be wearing kitty ear headbands in public. That's the female equivalent of a kilt. They've improved them. Besides the old style that are just ears on a headband, you can now get a set that have some sort of biofeedback sensor in the headband, with little servo motors in the base of the ears. Your mood determines which way the ears move. The fashion industry has to work, if it wants to keep up with attention whores. |

I wear a kilt regularly, my family is part of a local scottish heritage group, we have regular meetings and get togethers where everyone wears a kilt. Though there are many of us who wear our kilts on a regular basis (once or twice a week). I've also competed in highland games, nobody questions your masculinity when you're throwing heavy shit. And I've never met anyone who wears a kilt that gave a crap what people think anyways. Most comfortable clothing I own, not about to stop wearing it because some people on the internet say it's gay or attention whoring. In the real world I only ever get compliments on it, rarely you'll see someone who you can tell has something shitty they want to say, they're always too chicken shit to actually do it though.
