5Once upon a time I went to see [[http://eluveitie.ch/][Eluveitie]] on a little tour called
6[[http://www.paganfest.net/info.php?lang=usa][Paganfest]]. The bassist and piper of Eluveitie were wearing kilts and
7they looked mighty fine and metal; thus began my lust for a kilt of my
8very own.

12A few months later I decided to purchase a [[http://www.utilikilts.com/index.php?page_id=30][Workman's]] [[http://utilikilts.com][Utilikilt]] as it
13appeared to be the most practical kilt for every day wearing. After
14much fretting about sizing and ordering such an expensive piece of
15nonreturnable clothing I finally ordered one in August 2008 and had it
16in my hands the first week of September. Luckily, it fit.

23The kilt is made of very heavy canvas (it weighs about four pounds)
24and was of quite good construction. I'd say it was worth the pretty
25penny I spent for it.

29After unpacking and gazing upon the glory of the kilt I donned it upon
30my waist and decided that I should never wear pants again. Everything
31they say is true: the pockets really can fit a six pack of beer, it is
32quite comfortable, it doesn't look dumb (ok, perhaps that is
33subjective), and it *is* handy to have my tools on my kilt when working
34on my [[My Bicycle][bicycle]].

40I first wore the kilt in public about an hour after getting it, and I
41must say that I find it amusing that people would fret about wearing a
42kilt outside of their house. I now have a new problem: I want more
43kilts so that I no longer have to wear pants.
