37 | ||
38 | <p class="first">Once upon a time I went to see <a href="http://eluveitie.ch/">Eluveitie</a> on a little tour called | |
39 | <a href="http://www.paganfest.net/info.php?lang=usa">Paganfest</a>. The bassist and piper of Eluveitie were wearing kilts and | |
40 | they looked mighty fine and metal; thus began my lust for a kilt of my | |
41 | very own.</p> | |
42 | ||
43 | ||
44 | <h2><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a> | |
45 | Goodbye Money</h2> | |
46 | ||
47 | <p class="first">A few months later I decided to purchase a <a href="http://www.utilikilts.com/index.php?page_id=30">Workman's</a> <a href="http://utilikilts.com">Utilikilt</a> as it | |
48 | appeared to be the most practical kilt for every day wearing. After | |
49 | much fretting about sizing and ordering such an expensive piece of | |
50 | nonreturnable clothing I finally ordered one in August 2008 and had it | |
51 | in my hands the first week of September. Luckily, it fit.</p> | |

64 | <p>The kilt is made of very heavy canvas (it weighs about four pounds) | |
65 | and was of quite good construction. I'd say it was worth the pretty | |
66 | penny I spent for it.</p> | |

73 | <p>After unpacking and gazing upon the glory of the kilt I donned it upon | |
74 | my waist and decided that I should never wear pants again. Everything | |
75 | they say is true: the pockets really can fit a six pack of beer, it is | |
76 | quite comfortable, it doesn't look dumb (ok, perhaps that is | |
77 | subjective), and it <em>is</em> handy to have my tools on my kilt when working | |
78 | on my <a href="My%20Bicycle.html">bicycle</a>.</p> | |

89 | <p>I first wore the kilt in public about an hour after getting it, and I | |
90 | must say that I find it amusing that people would fret about wearing a | |
91 | kilt outside of their house. I now have a new problem: I want more | |
92 | kilts so that I no longer have to wear pants.</p> | |
