Men in Skirts II

[The following is NOT a paid presentation.]
Once in a while during my daily browsing I just start clicking other peoples’ blogads to see where they lead. Not that I’m actually doing any shopping, but I find myself interested and, alternately, amused or appalled by the things people will sell.
Today’s find, via Powerline, has a tagline that caught my eye: “Still Bloggin’ in your PJ’s?”
The advertiser was Sport Kilt. Interesting enough on its own; I think kilts are pretty darn comfortable, and I keep expecting them to “catch on” here in the US. I’d wear one [not commando style.]
It would be much more acceptable nowadays for a fellow to wear a kilt in the course of a normal day than it would have been, say, twenty or thirty years ago… but I bet a guy would still get some funny looks.
As I looked around the Sport Kilt site, something in their “Wall of Fame” really caught my eye: photos of US servicemen, some in Iraq, in kilts.
The only fiddly little objection I have is that many people wear tartans of clans or other groups of which they aren’t members. I’d never wear a Campbell tartan, for instance; I’m not a Campbell.
Fortunately, there is a tartan I’m entitled to wear. Otherwise, I might have to settle for Woodland Camo. Maybe I’ll do something about it in time for next year’s Tartan Day.
