Kilted at Soccer/Football Match

I pulled my hamstring last Friday so I was out for our match but I still wanted to come out and support my team. I decided to wear my 16 oz 8 yard Scots American, day sporran and my RSC Ready Hawick shirt. I got a few strange looks but most on the complex thought it was really sharp and I got a lot of great compliments.

Looking good!

Did your team win?

I know the two people behind you are pointing at the child, but at first glance, it looked like they were laughing at you behind your back!!

Looks good, I like the tartan.

It looks so good that it goes hand and hand with each other. As well as it should.

Looking good-hope your team won

Nice tartan and a confident smile.

There was a bit in Thompson's book "So You Want to Wear the Kilt" that spoke about the glances, laughing, etc that people felt they experienced when out in a kilt. That picture helps validate his comment later on, that all the laughter, sideways glances, etc happen in life not because you are wearing a kilt.

Imagine how different that photo would have looked if the child was a bit further behind mrpharr and we couldn't see her. There would have been dozens of comments about how rude the people in the background were for pointing and laughing at a guy in a kilt.
