I have a Kiwi-Confession to make...
Back before this site taught me the meaning of shame and humility, I used to be a faggot with no sense of self-awareness. I was drawn to the idea of utilikilts because I thought they looked cool. So, I ended up getting one from the Seattle flagship store(it cost over $200 dollars for one kilt) while I was living in the area across the water. I wore the thing unironically both to community college and to a lot of nerdy events me and my IRL friends frequented. Because I had nerdy-ass-fucking friends who didn't care about looks, I had no one really calling me out on wearing it and thought it was fine.
After I moved away from Washington I began to grow out the nerdy things I used to do. I still wore the kilt on several occasions, mostly on laundry day when I had nothing else. Currently I still own it but I don't wear it anymore. After I discovered this site and became more self-aware as a consequence, every time I look at the kilt I always think to myself "I can't believe I ever wore this thing. I looked like a damn fool." Now it's just sits in my closet as a both a symbol of nostalgia and regret.
One of these days I'll find the nerve to toss it out.
Eh, it's okay dude. We all make our fashion mistakes. I used to wear a fedora when I was thirteen and going through my "Blossom" phase. (Anyone remember that show?)
I'd hit it....with a tire iron.
