Summer 2012:  A second chance
Between about 2009 and 2011 I wore kilts everyday except on mandatory hit and tie days (sometimes that's what's called for). What I didn't do was chronicle the experience.

This time I am not wearing kilts exclusively, but I am intending to document the experience.

Today I got up and put on a stylish pair of skinny jeans.  Then I sat down to write.  My god, I was bound and gagged.  I knew I'd be writing for about eight hours:  Utilikilt to the rescue.

Sitting for a day of research is much more comfortable in a kilt.  Why do men wear clothes not built for their body?  Codes have power, and the power to make "knowledge" (e.g., men wear pants) is the interesting power.

  2. I see you haven't updated this in sometime so I'm not sure if you will see this, but I wanted to let you know that this is one of the most interesting blogs I've come across and I'm sad I never read over it while I had you as a professor! I see a lot of my own ideas reflected here but seeing as how my fiances' biggest fashion conundrum is "which t-shirt should I wear today?" it's really interesting seeing it from not only a man's point of view, but a man in the work place. I also love the idea of fashion being discussed on a level beyond "I just like it because I do". I hope you have the time and inclination to continue this blog because I would definitely like to read more.
