Building Confidence - Slaying the "Ya Buts"

Kiltedfirepiper pointed out on another thread that he has gone confidently kilted into country and western bars, hard core biker bars, gay bars (as a straight man with his wife), and Mexico.

Got me to thinking back over other posts on this board. We've been kilted in some very unusual places - including places that would give many of us second thoughts - only have all turn out well and positive.

Thought it might help some of the men newer to kilting to pass on some of the unusual, wild, crazy, places we've gone kilted.

I'll add; the local jail, to court, a fighter squadron reunion, Navajo flea market on the reservation, and river rafting.

Next.... :-D

I recently wore my kilt to the Bat Mitsvah party of a long-time friend's daughter. Together with Spencer jacket (a waist-length tuxedo jacket, in my case with the satin-covered buttons replaced by the silver diamond-shaped buttons used on PCs) and fly plaid. Photographer's muttered comment as I walked in was "fantastic!" Apparently just the touch of bright color he needed. (Grant Ancient, essentially orange and dull green.) Got a few comments, none startling, all approving. Did NOT get asked the "what's under it?" question. I did get another comment from the gate sentry as we entered the base (was held in the local air base O-club). "My G-d, that just defines sharp looking."

Well, let's see, probably the wildest place I've worn a kilt is to a gentleman's club one evening. I happen to know the DJ, so I hung out with him. I could have made some money that night, as the young ladies there were offering to tip for a peak.
