I think Megan's test is a little too strict. While Scottish accents are preferable, I don't have to listen to the guy wearing a kilt, so it's much more important that he just looks good.
Sorry Artbrooks, I don't think I'm qualified to judge anyone over the age of 30.

Didn't work, OM, try this one.. Now, I'm not at all sure if I pass Megan's test...I can't say loch properly without going into a coughing spasm...but I'm willing to be judged. Any opinions on this (you have to scroll down)? I'm the one that isn't wearing red tights.

Please please please scottish parliment pass a law prohibiting scrawny schilpit wee bauchles, lanky big dreeps or politicians from ever wearing the kilt.

"Now sir you wish to wear a kilt wll you have to take the suitability test."

1   Have you a fine broad hip
2   A pair of lovely strong legs
3   Can you say LOCH
4   And finally sir can you roll your R's

Davet, I'm afraid that being Welsh doesn't help you escape kilts

There'll be a discombobulating display of knees at this year's St David's Parade in Cardiff, unfortunately. These things are sent to try us.

But, now, if we could get some of this leather action going ... mmmmmm.

Okay, I will admit that some guys wouldn't look good in a kilt, but for one thing most of the guys I see in kilts are dancers, who all have good legs, and secondly, I would put up with some not so great guys in kilts if it would encourage the rest of them to wear kilts. See if you make them think they all look good they won't worry that They might be the ugly one.

EPN, why go with a tartan? I prefer the solid colors. Although I have been thinking about the Irish Diaspora tartan.

I just enjoy wearing a kilt, even though it isn't all that traditional among the Irish. I usually don't try to wear a tartan, because my folks wouldn't. Kind of like puttin' on airs and all. Maybe a County or Irish National, but the idea of the Irish Diaspora tartan does appeal to me. But usually it is dark green or black for my tastes.

I did have a first at a gig that I played recently. A woman asked the age old question, and I told her that I wear 'em commando style. Apparently she didn't believe that because a little later, as I was talking to someone else, she comes up and lifts it and looks. She let out a little "Oh....." and dropped it like it was red hot. The women was embarrassed as hell, and when I went back onstage for the next set, I was merciless. She was my foil for the rest of the night. LOL.

Layah, lots of men wear kilts in California -- pop around the San Fran and visit Castro Street.

But you UKers don't get the REAL thing for men (and women): shotgun chaps.

Dave, you are going to like that black one. I have one, and it is my favorite. I don't mind the casual kilts that are made out of a fabric called Duck. They are made in the traditional style. I can't stand the various "utilikilts" with the pockets. They just look shitty.

Kendall's just shown me a photo of him in a kilt in his younger days.

Looking at that I don't think a kilt would be a good idea now - it could end up with a lot of overheated females!!!!

That is very true LTS some men should not be allowed out of the house without a bag over their heads, let alone be allowed to wear kilts. However some guys should be made to wear them all the time because they look so damm good! Kilts or tight leather trousers!

Layah - i refer you to my first post... Not all men look sexy in kilts. Some men couldn't look sexy if they tried. There are some men who are just not sexy. These men should never wear kilts.

I was in getting measured up for a new kilt, a super sexy black one, and I got rather an eye opener. This was a traditional Kiltmaker's shop but in addition to the usual selection of tartans tasteful and modern, and the odd kilt in Hodden grey or super sexy back, there were some even I would be wary of wearing. Utilikilts, denim kilts, camo kilts I can take, even black leather (not as super sexy as wool) but bright red PVC! Pink PVC!
Makes me glad I can claim to be Welsh.
