I have worn kilts for a long time. Sadly, I lost the battle of the bulge. My bottom drawer is now home for 3 kilts I no longer can wear. Today, thanks to our friends at Amazon, I can get back to a pants free lifestyle. Full disclosure: I moved to Arizona in 2020 and rarely wear long pants. Still, cargo shorts are pants. Gents, give the kilt a try.

noodengr2May 16, 2023i wear a sort of kilt that I made myself. I take a pair of shorts and cut away the connecting fabric between the legs and slit the sides which leaves the elastic waist band and fabric flaps front and back. I use these when functioning, mowing, raking etc in view of my road . To a passing car they look like shorts, but on my body they are the least restrictive and most airy thing short of total nudity. Total nudity is the norm in parts of the yard out of view of the road.

Later I made my own camouflage Kilt.
I also have two Anderson Kilts one 13oz and the other 10oz for the summer months, [img][url][link]/link/f0fe4db484d8de40/aHR0cHM6Ly9wb3N0aW1nLmNjL1RoU3hteGg3[/link]

All the jeans and cargo pants will be donated so someone can wear them.ReactReply - PA

I wish that were true for me. I once bumped into my boss around town and I was wearing my kilt. He seemed really put off by it. I figured it was a safe bet to never bring it up for office attire.

I got one negative expression. And I may be reading too much into it. I walked through a doorway and then held the door open for a mom and her two children who were following me. Mom was very appreciative at first and then she saw my skirt. A startled and slightly horrified look came over her face -- or maybe she just remembered she left the stove on.ReactReply - OS
OsoMay 21, 2023I have been wearing kilts for 19 years now. Being a guy with a thicker bottom half(ass and thighs) it makes finding pants that fit well and comfortably a pain. Kilts do away with all of that, get it to fit in the waist and you're good. I have dress kilts, utility kilts, a handful of tartan kilts and solid black kilts, as well as a light weight 5 year lounge around kilt. I love them, definitely one of my favorite items to wear.

PaulMay 21, 2023When I was thin -- around the waist -- I couldn't find pants that fit. My legs are very muscular.
If the pants fit at the waist, I couldn't get my legs into them. If they were big enough for my legs, they were way t big for my waist.
Now that I have quite a belly, that's no longer a problem.
Nonetheless, skirts are great.

BeauMay 23, 2023Ive been thinking about buying a kilt for awhile now but just havent pulled the trigger yet. When Im at home on my private and secluded property I have no need for clothes and when I go out I wear socially acceptable shorts or pants. In my own personal experiences of encountering men wearing kilts is that most of them are doing it for a counter culture fashion statement, its never a guy who could be a business banker or other normal person. This is why I havent been too eager to follow through and buy a kilt.

Eric (Rick)Original PosterJun 10, 2023There is a young man working at our local grocery store. He wears kilts on the job. I have wanted to ask him if the management had to approve but he is usually busy as a checker. I estimate his age around mid 30's.

bobbi_pelerineJul 4, 2023I find it so comfortable and practical to wear a skirt, as well as being very sensual. I have been quite shy about wearing them when I am out, but am getting more confident. So far there have been some "double-takes", but no negative comments. I try to do it in a way that looks good, so the skirts are not especially feminine, like in my photo. For me it isn't necessarily cross-dressing, it is just wearing an item of clothing I find suits me.
