If I ever wear a "skirt" made for a woman or start cross-dressing, I'll let you know.
so are you a tad intimadated to wear your kilt and have to use the ol' "scottish heritage" excuse.??
i mean no disrespect and i'm not trying to be an ass but,,,,,, heritage or not there is absolutely no reason for you to wear a kilt in the USA at a cruiser gathering. you must have WANTED to wear it,,, same reason i wear them on occasion, certainly not because i am cross dresing,, besides i MADE my skirts, they were not made for a woman.
anyhow, i'll see if the rig is up for the next sonic cruise, it is getting some minor surgery right now.
p.s., hltopper i completely agree that a skirt (kilt) is quite comfy and free-ing.

I agree Clay! There's absolutely no reason that you have to be Scottish or of Scottish descent to wear a kilt. Personally, I think that if more men would just give it a try, they would be more mainstream. IIRC, most states, as well as Arizona, have a state tartan. Even the Mountain Rescue Association (MRA) has its own tartan and honor guard/pipers.
"...heritage or not there is absolutely no reason for you to wear a kilt in the USA at a cruiser gathering."
Is there a reason not to? Is it uncalled for for anyone in the "USA" to wear a dashiki or sarong? Perhaps members of the clergy in the US shouldn't wear the cassock? Does this mean that the only true American fashion is blue jeans and a sleeveless, v-neck undershirt?
Additionally, traditionalists would argue that a modern kilt, such as the Utilikilt or Amerikilt would be inappropriate to wear to a Scottish gathering. I too, believe that a non-formal kilt would be inappropriate to say, appear in before Az Federal District Court Judge Tielborg. Furthermore, when my parents were in college it was forbidden for women to wear slacks to class....
The authoritative guide to the kilt, So You're Going to Wear the Kilt, by Charles Thompson, suggests the following (I paraphrase.) If you can think of a time when you'd be embarrassed to wear the kilt, then you should not wear the kilt at any time.
I think the bottom line is, and my guess is that you'd agree, that I really don't care what others think about how I choose to dress. If they don't like it, that's a personal problem for them; not me.
BTW, here's another kilt making site! http://users.telenet.be/jbruyndonckx/kilt_making.html

here here! hltopper !!!!! i agree on all counts but i wasnt meaning to imply that wearing a kilt in the USA was a no-no,, i simply meant in that its not a "formal" or "mainstream" garment and that you are choosing to wear such clothing and enjoy it for absolutely no reason or formality.
and while were way off the topic,, i actually own a daishiki a dish dash, and other garments from around the world, i find it both entertaining and relaxing to wear such clothing at my leisure.
anyway are you planning on comming down again?? you should put together a meet up in flag.

just a bump for those who may have forgotten. this friday night at the sonic on broadway east of rural in tempe. if you're coming from north or out of town, take the 10 to the 60 east then get off at rural. about 2 miles north to broadway then a right(east) about a 1/4 block to the sonic on the north side of broadway.
I'll be there in spirit

That's the plan.
I'd personally like to have something like this every Friday, but at a different Sonic each week. Is there a Sonic (or something like it) in Sedona or Flag?
But we'd keep the monthly one in Tempe, seeing as it's somewhat centrally located
for us Valley peeps.
