Love them
My son and his party in his wedding all wore kilts
They found a place in Kearny that rents them
They chose I think it's called the Black Guard or Black watch plaid
The ladies all wore black gowns and it really looked great

One of the things I love about the St Pat's parade in NYC....hundreds of men in kilts with bagpipes
There is a legend...don't know how true it is but the kilts and the men in kilts scared the hell out of hitler

Yes they did. My WWII vet dad said they use to refer to them as "The Ladies from Hell". They would ski down from the hills in their kilts and surprise their enemies. Tough bunch of "broads"
