So, I've been going to college classes for about 6 weeks now. I've been wearing one of two kilts (SWK's, Black Stewart Standard, Black Watch acrylic Heavy). I went this past friday, and had a few more reactions than normal. I usually just get a "nice kilt" or "what's with the kilt?" - very short non-events usually.

Anyway, this week, I was about 5 minutes late for class. So I walk in, and apparently this professor has never noticed the kilt before. I walk in, and apologize for being late. She then gets very excited and says "Well Chase! What's the occasion?!" Before I have time to answer, the guy who sits behind me (whom I've talked to about it before, he owns a kilt but doesn't wear it except for special events) yells out "It's Friday!" I couldn't help but chuckle then.

So I told her that I'd been wearing one each Friday, and she couldn't believe she hadn't noticed. Three of the girls sitting around me jump in at this point "Yeah, he's got a green one too!" So then the class goes on and converses about kilts for about 5 minutes while the professor still can't get over it. Finally, she says "So they say that a real Scotsman doesn't wear anything under the kilt" and the whole class gets quiet... talk about being put on the spot

I respond simply "Well, that is what they say..." with laughter from the class, and we move on to the lesson.


I move on to my next class, and as I'm walking in the building, I spot two guys standing at the doors with their cell-phones up, camera ready, both steadied on... the hot girl on the sidewalk? No... they're both following my movements. How often do you see guys taking pictures of other guys with their cell phone cameras?



I was then stopped by an older gentleman who has been to Edinburgh a few times, and we just talked about Scotland, and kilts in general before I went on to class.

Next week I get to hang out with a class of fourth graders while kilted though, looking forward to that one
