Yes! ...on both counts. Not often. But once in awhile I do venture over there.

"Excuse me, sir. Is anything worn under the kilt?"
"Nae, lass! It's as good as it ever was!"
I’ve made a number of kilts for Triumph riders. The RAT pack.
I’m comfortable riding in a kilt.

FWIW my inseam is 29” at 5’ 6” tall. I am ok with riding pants too long as long as the armour is in the right places and the waist is comfortable. It’s always been hard to find pants or slacks that fit me well without having the length altered. In riding pants I’m always wearing boots so the extra length isn’t a dealbreaker.

I've *finally* PMed his email to ya, let us know if you have that zipper replaced.
Just bought some jeans and shoes from www.motorcyclecloseouts.com. I have Kevlar-lined jeans but my fatness has since required an upsize but didn't want to pay $200 for them. My first time with them so cannot quote on quality. But they had my size and price point. We'll see.

I haven't seen any "riding jeans" that I like, and certainly none with the hip and knee armor of specific riding britches.
The kevlar-type things may or may not spare us some road rash, but there's also the impact to consider, even in a slide.
Haven't ruled them out completely yet, but haven't seen any real innovation in them, either.

These are the riding jeans I purchased. https://www.rideapart.com/reviews/254787/gear-revit-lombard-jeans-review/
They have armour in the knees and hips as well as the protective material for a slide. It may be a moot point though. I found akarob over on ADVRider and he'll do the zipper replacement on the X-Moto pants for about $60 plus shipping. I'd like to have it NOW...but maybe God is just teaching me patience.
And the nice thing about Cycle Gear is being able to return everything easily.
FWIW - I'll ship those pants using PirateShip.com. They have a good reputation and I've used them once already with no issues. The cost is significantly less than taking your package to the Post Office or UPS.

I am no stranger to the kilt but I have never tried riding in one. I don't even ride in shorts!
I thought it might be just the thing for the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride if I ride my Norton.

Guys, could you take the kilt stories elsewhere please?
