Does Everyone Know About Kilts?

One of the issues is that some people have never see a Kilt or seen a kiltie wearing his Kilt. The chances of seeing another Kiltie are very small.
We accept wearing the Kilt as a way of life. People who spend their life in Walmart in their pajamas are unlikely to recognise that a gentleman is wearing a kilt. If a kiltie goes out with a partner in a pleated skirt some folks think the lady is wearing a Kilt and her male Partner is wearing a
skirt. I convinced someone that a lady who was wearing a pencil skirt was wearing a European version of a Figian male wrap over garment without the wrap over aprons but with a vent in the back. They considered the lady was wearing a kilt without any aprons, and considered I was wearing a skirt. I find the easiest thing to do is to ignore people who laugh at you and shout abuse, as I do not have the vocabulary to banter
with their bad manners and lack of education regarding popular current fashion trends. Roderick Powell

Thankfully our Walmart UK subsidiary, Asda, isn't so bad sartorially, but we have the 'Chav' (Council Housed And Violent) sub-class who have embraced the shell suit (similar to a sport track suit) and they too wear them several sizes too big in that 'ghetto' style. Thankfully as fashion is changing so much in the UK (the 'mirt' / manskirt is making inroads, and the X Factor's male singer tipped to win regularly wears a pencil skirt on stage) there's far bolder clothing out there than a kilt. I think there's some places I just wouldn't wear a kilt to, I would just blend with the masses when shopping. People know what a kilt is, even if they give it a nickname of 'man skirt' - look at any Twitter reference with the hashtag #kilt and aside from the US urban term for 'killed', people know full well what a kilt is. Life is too short to worry about other people's feelings, just worry about your own. Those who find the kilt 'disgusting' are just childish or trying to draw attention to themselves with such remarks.

Ask anyone from any country about Scotland, and aside from bagpipes they will inevitably mention the kilt.
