So we just had a family party at my house and my "eccentric" cousin showed up in a kilt made by Utilikilts. I checked out the website and decided it's cool, but I don't know if I could pull it off. What do you guys think? And is it customary to freeball or is it OK to wear some boxers with one?
edit: this has nothing to do with being Scottish. It's cool to wear a kilt for ceremonies and stuff like that. We're talking everyday wear like a pair of shorts.

I'm not kidding. I voted yes 'cause I thought you meant the Scottish kind for parties and stuff and I didn't see the edit. Don't even think about it. Do you really want to look like this guy?
And if you do, for some reason decide to wear a kilt, please wear some underwear.

Seriously, no man should show than much leg. No one wants to see that so please don't.

my student is in a Drum Corps called "the Kilties" and he of course had to wear one. That takes some guts for a 15 year old to do it and be proud of it.
Personally I'd never choose to wear one but I would if need be. I have GREAT legs.

Hmm
Being of Scottish ancestory, I have no problem, and indeed have worn a kilt on many occasions, both when younger and doing highland dancing, and in later years.
As far as 'objections' - heh, I object to females wearing trousers.
There's one for 'ya :-)
Cheers

If you are dating, married to, or otherwise want to impress a woman that digs kilts .... you'd be a fool NOT too.

You should go with thid hot little number. The Leather Utilikilt. Then you'd look like Xena, Warrior Princess.
Perfect for Sturgis, as well!

I work as a bartender at a "celtic bar" and I wear a kilt every sunday, and some other days as well...all I can say is the less guys that wear a kilt the better...more girls for us that do. I have never been hit upon as much as when I am wearing one of my four kilts. So make sure that you flaunt your homophobic "that guy is wearing a skirt" attitude as much as possible, cause I really do not want this to become a mainstream fashon thingamabob. I have never gotten away with asking a lady if she is wearing underwear so much as as when I am wearing my kilt, because I figure if she can ask me that, I can return the favor. I won't even delve into the "comfort" issue.
BTW, if you got the balls to wear one in public....most people (even the hardcore rednecks) will also believe you got the balls to back it up (and a good pair of askickickin boots reinforce that idea).
(on a side note...don't ask a six-foot-four white supremist from gaston SC, while pressing his face into the concrete, waiting on the cops to arrive, what he thinks of being pinned by a guy in a dress...cause he might just have a little problem with that and be released before the end of your shift [true story])

I am half-Scottish (on my mothers side) and so have a family tartan. I have a kilt and have worn it on a few occasions. The thing about kilts is you have to wear them properly, with a sporren and a good pair of hose (socks), and the right shoes.
Unfortunately, due to me being very slim, I don't have the right type of legs to carry it off perfectly, but on the right man a kilt can look very sexy.
So, yes, I would.

Ditto that ditto.
Living in Scotland I have worn a kilt on many an occasion.
But that (above) is not big nor clever.
Just don't do it, kids..

I'll consider wearing one when I have white hair and own a set of pipes.
I think Utilikilts are stupid. Then again, I find messenger bags stupid too. Fanny packs are the utlimate in stupidity.
Shall I keep going?

Yep, I wear `em, sometimes just for the hell of it. Damned comfortable too, especially when worn in regimental fashion. Helps to have a healthy dose of Scotch-Irish genes.

Without a doubt, I'd love to try wearing a kilt, but I haven't had the chance as of yet.

Here in New Zealand most high schools have a school uniform. Us girls had to wear a kilt. So if you add it up, I wore a kilt 5 days a week for 4 years. Horrible horrible things.

As for what Irishmen wear under their kilts, it's lipstick if they're lucky!

1/2 scottish? Then shouldn't you wear a 1/2 kilt, or... dare I say it... a mini-kilt?

Hell YES!!!!
I was reading about these in Backpacker magazine a while back. Apparently they make a nice
little number with utility pockets and a chamois waist-band that is supposed to be WAY
comfortable on the trail. Even with synthetic/wicking shorts the amount of sweat that builds
up is just crying out for a nice, breezy kilt.
Would I wear one to work or out in public? Probably. I run, hike, and bike so my legs look
pretty good and if it gets me laid, Woo-Hoo, what more could you ask for. As to some
f***er trying to mess with me, well, we'd have to see how serious it got. But if came to
serious violence from some raging pr***, I carry a nice little Benchmade knife that could
gut somebody in about 10 seconds if need be. (I've never had to use it but I did have to
club somebody with a baseball once. Of course, then I ran like hell while he was down.)

I wore a full kilt+jacket to my friends' wedding, in the bride's tartan even. I looked damn good.

Back in High School, a friend (with the last name of MacNerland) proudly wore his kilt to school more than once. Gotta respect a guy who does that as a teenager.

Just wear a lamp shade on your head. You'll look just as creative and get an equal amount of attention.

You call it a kilt rather than a skirt, so I'm gonna have to assume there was no underwear involved.

I think the correct word is skirt.
And I would wear one. I'm not gay.
