Yay!
My new UnionKilt arrived this morning. I unpacked it & put it on. I do not think it will be coming off anytime soon It is one of their black corduroy numbers, which unfortunately they have stopped making It is very comfortable & has fab pockets (always important as I carry loads of crap) Only one gripe; now I want a proper woollen cilt. Oh & a leather one & a utilikilt &......
Damn another AD to add to the list

What's under the Kilt?
A laddy and lassy were sitting on the glenn and the lassy asked?
"What's that you're wearing under the kilt?"
The Laddy answered!
"Ach lassy, if you reach under you will see for yourself!!"
As she does does and startles, she replies-
"OO laddy, what a gruesome thing!"
He then replies-
"Well lassy, if you reach under there again you will notice that it has grew some more!!!"

Clan MacGregor here. When I was in the Army, I had both Highland day wear and evening wear, appropriate sporrans, etc. Kilts are great and I miss being able to wear one now (you need HOW much tartan???)...but they are comfortable and I never found the wool to be hot. I even wore mine while traveling around Scotland in the 80's and never had a problem. In Edinburgh, I saw businessmen in kilts...I was in a kilt, shirt, casual kilt jacket...no one gave me a second look. In the Highlands and on Skye, I was even greeted with what seemed to be even greater hospitality than normal (Scots are amazing hosts). As for the ethnic qualification to wear a tartan, that is long past. Weavers in Edinburgh now even have "national" tartans for folks from countries that may not have kilts. They even made a tartan to commemorate the US Bi-centennial in 1976...it was a blue field with a red and white set. My claim is through my step-father who, for all intents and purposes, was my father, and through his mother, surnamed "Gregg". When I would go to highland games I would hang out with the MacGregors and there was no question as to my being allowed to wear the tartan....but as has been said here, no one really seems to make much out of it anymore.
A funny anecdote: I was on Skye and was looking at the scenery and two locals came up and asked me in a rather agressive tone if I was wearing Frazier tartan...I said "No, it's MacGregor" and they apologized and backed away.
As for wearing them everyday...if only! I can't think of a better garment!
Here is Clan MacGregor:
