Keep it up! I'm relatively new to kilts as well, and have only casual, non-tartan kilts as well. I've gotten LOTS of positive responses, mostly from pretty women (makes my wife nuts)A couple of guys have approached me too (not that way!) because they had been looking at Utilikilts. I think they appreciated seeing a guy with the stones to do what they had only THOOUGHT of doing. Good on ya! Chris
