Kilt

Towards the end of the kilt wearing season last year, i linked up with the nice folks over at BananaPeelz.com. They had seen the comic mentioning their product and enjoyed the good press and good comic :)

After some chatting they happily offered two Banana Peelz to pantlessatwork for us to review. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate after i got them in the mail so they sat there un-reviewed.

Luckily kilt season is once again upon us!
(yes i know you "can" wear one all year long, but i'm just not that type. You can wear a snow jacket all year long. It doesn't mean you should ;) )

So for the first kilt day i figured what better way to start the season off than with the Banana Peelz review.

The two that i got were:
The black mesh banana peelz:

And the black and white viper:

It takes a little getting used to wearing, but should be in any kilt wearers arsenal. Yes wearing a Banana Peelz is not the traditional way to wear a kilt, but it definitely has its time and place.

Wearing the Banana Peelz gives you a peace of mind when dealing with wind/stair cases/rain/puddles/desks without modesty panels/etc..

It's the type of thing that is comfortable to wear and you don't even notice it's there.

The only downside i noticed while reviewing it on a longer trip was that it doesn't have a zipper(probably a good thing though). Which makes bio breaks a slight bit trickier.

Overall I'd give them 4 out of 5 stars and for the price of $10 you can't pass it up. The only reason they get 4 stars and not 5 stars is because when it comes to a kilt nothing beats nothing.

Thanks again to the Team at bananapeelz.com for the chance to review your product!

And with no further waiting, here is the next episode of The Kiltman comic.

Today turned out to be a beautiful day in Boston, which meant a great kilt day.

The day started out well. Didn't even have my morning coffee yet, and i was already receiving compliments on the kilt.

"I'm loving the kilt" said a nice lady at Dunkin Dounts.
Thanks you nice lady for the compliment! you made my morning :)

At lunch i was thinking about getting the little guy a kilt, not only because its cool and really cute, but should aid in the potty training as well.
To me, a kilted toddler running around the house is a little easier to deal with than a naked one(at least that is the theory,we'll see how it is in practice).

I'm looking at picking up a toddler kilt from the guys over at SportKilt.com

Baby Kilts at Sportkilt.com

I got approval to order the Ramsey Tartan. So we'll definitely get pictures and a review online as soon as that comes in.

As for the next issue of Kiltman vs. Pantman, hang in there. Dan over at Circlecomics.com is cooking up a great redraw of the first episode as well as the new second episode.

If you haven't seen Dan's work you should check out his comics:
The Stickman Dailies and The Stickman Comic

Today is the third day wearing the kilt at work. By this time everyone at work is used to it. Still getting the random double take in the lobby and on the commute, but overall the reaction has been pretty positive.

Today's the first day Adam (Landrysplace.com) had a chance to wear his to work.

So far that is two techies that have jumped on the Kilt band wagon. We'll see if the rising summer heat converts anyone else.

On an un-related note, i have teamed up with Dan Larson from Circle Comics and will be redoing the first comic of KvP and using his Artistic abilities moving forward. We are probably looking at a bi monthly release of the comic, but the quality bar should be raised by well over 300%

Look forward to next weeks rerun of KvP.

Today is the first full work day in the kilt.
So far things are going well.

I haven't had any wardrobe malfunctions or kilt checks.

I did find out that turning fast in a kilt is a no no.
So don't do that in public unless you want to show off whatever you got under that kilt ;)

I feel bad about sitting on my nice ironed pleats all day, but it is very cool in the office for me today :)

We'll see how the trip home goes.

I finally got my first kilt today!

I have to say its incredibly comfortable.
The guys over at Utilikilts.com definitely know how to make a kilt.

I'll give you all a sneak peak of tomorrows outfit.

Happy Fathers day to everyone!

Yes i know i have been really slacking on the cartoons the last week and a half.

The good news is that i have been coming up with a lot of great ideas for different strips, so now i just need to sit down and draw them all out. Hopefully i'll get a couple of weeks ahead this week and it wont be a problem any more.

Just wait for the next post! you'll be glad you did.

There is only 6 days left till fathers day!!
Which means there is only 6 days left till its Kilt wearing time!

The plan so far is to wear the kilt to work on monday after father's day.

I'm excited the time is almost here.

I went to the Worcester Irish Music Festival this weekend. It was a blast. I even saw a guy there wearing a utilikilt and a punisher t-shirt. That guy was definitely rocking the kilt.

It was a really hot day on saturday and even the shorts weren't cutting it.

Ceylan almost let me wear my kilt out to the festival, except for two things.
It wasn't fathers day yet and it needed to be ironed.

So close, yet so far.

As for last weeks edition of Kiltman vs. Pantman, i have to appologize i got pretty sick on thursday then have company on friday. I'll make sure to draw a really good one this week to make up for it ;)

Till then. Stay cool and kilted!

So according to the tracking info my Kilt arrived at the house!
Very exciting stuff, the time has almost come.

Now i just need to wait a few more days till fathers day to try it on.
It's my rule so i guess i have to play by it.
I'm a big fan of getting the gifts on the day (or close to the day if the family/friends gathering is earlier).
It makes it more worth the wait,builds suspense and excitement around the holiday if you don't open gifts early. It is especially true when you get a lot of gifts by mail. Its hard to make sure they all arrive on the day of the holiday, but it makes it more meaning full opening them all on the day, rather than one at a time as they trickle in the mail. Just my opinion though.
