35<p class="first">Once upon a time I went to see <a href="http://eluveitie.ch/">Eluveitie</a> on a little tour called
36<a href="http://www.paganfest.net/info.php?lang=usa">Paganfest</a>. The bassist and piper of Eluveitie were wearing kilts and
37they looked mighty fine and metal; thus began my lust for a kilt of my
38very own.</p>

42Goodbye Money</h2>
43
44<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
45appeared to be the most practical kilt for every day wearing. After
46much fretting about sizing and ordering such an expensive piece of
47nonreturnable clothing I finally ordered one in August 2008 and had it
48in my hands the first week of September. Luckily, it fit.</p>

61<p>The kilt is made of very heavy canvas (it weighs about four pounds)
62and was of quite good construction. I'd say it was worth the pretty
63penny I spent for it.</p>

70<p>After unpacking and gazing upon the glory of the kilt I donned it upon
71my waist and decided that I should never wear pants again. Everything
72they say is true: the pockets really can fit a six pack of beer, it is
73quite comfortable, it doesn't look dumb (ok, perhaps that is
74subjective), and it <em>is</em> handy to have my tools on my kilt when working
75on my <a href="My%20Bicycle.html">bicycle</a>.</p>

86<p>I first wore the kilt in public about an hour after getting it, and I
87must say that I find it amusing that people would fret about wearing a
88kilt outside of their house. I now have a new problem: I want more
89kilts so that I no longer have to wear pants.</p>
