   5 Once 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
   7 they looked mighty fine and metal; thus began my lust for a kilt of my
   8 very own.

  12 A 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
  13 appeared to be the most practical kilt for every day wearing. After
  14 much fretting about sizing and ordering such an expensive piece of
  15 nonreturnable clothing I finally ordered one in August 2008 and had it
  16 in my hands the first week of September. Luckily, it fit.

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

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

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