New photo's and kilt talk
I uploaded some new photo's to my profile page.
There are a couple new ones of me in the before and after folder, and a couple of me with my bike in the misc folder.
I am wearing my newest kilt in the pictures.
Guys, if you want the ultimate in comfort, consider a modern cut version kilt. It is all I wear now.
I have wanted a Utilikilt for years, but didn't want to spend the money. They are pretty expensive, even more so when you are big and start adding extra for big sizes. Since I am getting so close to my goal weight, I decided to get one but opted for the less expensive Amerikilt.
I learned to sew when I was in high school, so I figured I could make my own. I took some measurements off the Amerikilt I bought, found some directions online, and the rest. as they say, is history.
I have made 3 new kilts in the last 2 weeks.
The digi camo one in the pictures is the coolest I have made so far. I added cargo pockets to it.
Baja, I can totally see you on a beach reeling in a big one wearing a khaki kilt. Anyway, check it out guys. Once you get one and see how comfortable they are you will never want to trap yer balls in a pair of pants again!
I hotlinked Utilikilts and Amerikilts, but below are the url's in case they don't work for you.

Don't know if I'm ready for a kilt quite yet but I be diggin' the lederhosen look as of late.
Boner,
From Wiki:
"Lederhosen have remained regionally popular and are commonly associated with virility and brawn. Some men enjoy wearing them when hiking, working outdoors, on a stag night, or attending folk festivals and beer gardens; they are rarely seen elsewhere. Nevertheless, they have remained a symbol of regional pride. Their role in Bavaria is thus comparable to that of the kilt in Scotland"
Cool!

When I was in Germany back in the late 80's, I bought my son a complete lederhosen outfit including the pants, shirt, socks and a hat with a feather. He hated them but I thought it was a cool look for a youngster. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending how you look at it), I couldn't find a XXXXL pair for yours truly.

I have a great kilt that I wear for Rennaissance fairs and SCA events. The great kilts have over 10 yards of wool in them. They are a bit heavy, but It really is comfortable. Just remember when you see a bunch of guys wearing those, and they are standing around with hands on hips and kind of swaying in a little circular motion, they AREN'T doing the hula, they are creating an updraft to keep the boys air conditioned.
