<a href=

</a> on a little tour called
33 <a href=
"http://www.paganfest.net/info.php?lang=usa">Paganfest
</a>. The bassist and piper of Eluveitie were wearing kilts and
34 they looked mighty fine and metal; thus began my lust for a kilt of my

41 <p class=

<a href=

</a> <a href=
"http://utilikilts.com">Utilikilt
</a> as it
42 appeared to be the most practical kilt for every day wearing. After
43 much fretting about sizing and ordering such an expensive piece of
44 nonreturnable clothing I finally ordered one in August
2008 and had it
45 in my hands the first week of September. Luckily, it fit.

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

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

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