Sometimes Nothing Happens....Go Figure??
So business required a trip from my home town of Page, Arizona over to Window Rock, Arizona - a 500 mile round trip across the Navajo reservation. So, knowing its gonna be a 12 hour day I chose to wear my new British Rebel Tan leather kilt from RKilts. Figured the long day with a lot of sitting would help break it in and maybe even begin some patina on it.
Now normally leather kilts attract attention. But there was not one comment, double take, sideways glance, giggle the entire day. I drove with a coworker and we stopped at the Black Mesa Trading Post, the Blue Gap convenience store, the Navajo Dept of Highway Safety, the Navajo Dept of Behavioral Health, drove into Gallup, N.M. for lunch at King Dragon a large (and most delicious) Chinese Buffet, then back to Highway Safety, and back to Behavioral Health, then to gas and a convenience store at Burnside Junction, another stop at Black Mesa, and a local supermarket run after I got home.
Must have interacted with a few hundred different people...nothing. Coulda been wearing jeans.
Guess in some ways its a good thing that a leather kilt is accepted without comment....don't ever recall spending an entire day kilted over such a geographic area without some reaction.
I still had fun. Love the kilt. So comfy for travel.
