The filleadhship of the kilt
It's an odd thing, this filleadhship of the kilt.
Any guy who wears a garment that most men cannot or will not wear is going to be highly individualistic and not very needing of the approval of others.
Yet, when two kilted strangers meet on the street, they stop, shake hands, and talk. They have experienced similar things in their kilts. They have had experiences only another kilted man will relate to, such as windy days, not choosing to sit in the deep couch, ladders, etc.
So the two strangers meet and talk, then go their separate ways. They are happy to have found another kilted man in their area. They might even meet for a beer someday but it won't change the nature of each of them. They would wear a kilt, no matter who else wears one in their area, simply because that is what they choose to wear.
I've been told by guys dozens of times, "You look great! I wish I had the balls to wear a kilt."
So, what is the filleadhship of the kilt? It is mutual respect for another man in a kilt, a kindred spirit, a man who does not follow the crowd.
A man.
