I'm a skinny or slim build guy as I prefer to call it, and when I wear the kilt with hose pushed down my legs do look kinda funny.So I only do the hose down thing at home and never out and about.
I have never been complimented on my appearence but people do sometimes comment on my wearing the kilt ie; never seen a camouflage kilt before.
Anyway I take it all in my stride as I have always been different since school days and have learned to live with it and sometimes use it to my advantage.
I believe you have to come to terms with who and what you are and when you've done that you will be successful and happy in life.
Me, I'm still on that road.
