    “Kilts, because they don’t make three legged pants.”

    For real though, I gave up pants years ago and I will never go back. I highly recommend giving it a try.

      Doesn’t mix with female genitals either. Maybe keep knives away from genitals as a general rule

    Pretty sure that the kilt was invented by an Englishman so that scots working in his factories would be less likely to get clothing caught in the machinery and maimed. I say this as a kilt-loving descendent of scots.

    EDIT: To be clear, I was referring to a Small Kilt, whose intention is attributed to an English mill owner named Rallinson circa 1720. Not the Great Kilt, which to my knowledge is Scottish in origin.

      Pretty sure the 16th century happened before the Industrial Revolution, when there were British factories.

        Should have been more precise, I think. I most frequently hear “kilt” referring to the Small Kilt which comes from the 18th century, not the Great Kilt.

      I’m having a hard time thinking of garments that would be MORE likely to get caught in machinery than an ~8yd piece of fabric wrapped to include open ends, pleats, flaps and the over the shoulder option. A poncho or cloak is the only thing I can come up with.

        A Great Kilt (invented by Scots, as far as am aware) definitely. I should have been more specific. I was referring to the Small Kilt (which is what I most often hear people referring to as a kilt), which comes from the 18th century.

    based on genital structure, women can pee a lot easier when wearing a dress, men can pee easier just unzipping the front of their pants….

      And yet there is zero chance of an unfortunate zipper accident when wearing a kilt/skirt. Pant zippers are the leading cause of penile injury.

      Scottish kilts have been around since the 1500’s.

      The zipper was patented in the 1800’s.

          If the ease of peeing determines the usefulness of a garment, then in a world without zippers, kilts are clearly the superior genitalia obscuring clothing item. For 200 years the Scots were enjoying free and easy urination while the rest of the British Isles were having to unlace their codpieces like fools.
