"You look so Handsome!"

[turpin]

My wife and I walked into a local flooring and design shop. I was REALLY casual in my black Renegade kilt, brown leathers black T-shirt reading in the chest

"BY READING THIS YOU HAVE GIVEN ME BRIEF CONTROL OF YOUR MIND"

in white letter, with scrunched oatmeal hose and my $3.29 oxblood Orvis shoes from the DMS. The only thing more casual would have been flip- flops.

As we approached the counter the lady behind it lit up and proclaimed for the whole store to hear "You look just so Handsome!"

One can hardly help breaking a smile at that. I said "Thank you so much! And doesn't my wife look beautiful too?"

She was a bit confuzzled for a moment, then recovered and said " Yes, she certainly is - But you look just so Handsome! And you're so Brave to be wearing that!"

I've sort of gotten over feeling brave in my kilts (except when I walk through downtown Atlanta, maybe), but it sure appeared to make her day.

I'm not at all surprised at the woman's reaction.........I've heard it many times myself. I think any man looks good in a kilt or a tuxedo, and especially in a formal kilt ensemble. To hear the compliment when you are totally casual is an even stronger endorsement for the look of the kilt. There's no denying that it's a man's garment and it takes a real man to wear one. Good job of advancing our cause by lookin' good!
Cheers!

Comments like that are great. I have been told that I look legendary. That was one of my favorites.

"Legendary", huh? Cool.
I just get a lot of, "Nice skirt." comments from my friends. They just try to get a rise out of me, so I ignore it and say, "Thanks."

I find it amazing that someone would address a 6'1" 210lb. fairly well built dude like me and say "Nice skirt!". It usually comes from a friend because a stranger wouldn't have the gonads to say it. I think it's best to ignore the comment when it comes from friends because, eventually, they'll realize that it's not a joke and that you're going to wear it despite their juvenile comments. For strangers it's always good to use the "It's actually called a kilt because that's what I did to the last guy who called it a skirt", and if you simply can't ignore your friend's comment, "No, it would be a skirt if I were wearing panty hose and high heels", followed by "moron!".
Cheers!
