If you live in a very culturally conservative area, this is unfortunately what you deal with. As comfortable as I am in my kilts where I live, I would not wear them back in my very small, conservative hometown. Small, conservative Southern towns are generally not receptive to anything other than jeans, t-shirts, camouflage trucker hats, and NASCAR. I realize I am generalizing, but I grew up around it my whole life until I moved away for college. If you have any sense of clothing or proper men's attire, people generally assume you 'play for the other team' in little backwoods towns around here. The irony is that when it comes to kilts and traditional attire, the Scot/Irish and English were the ones who settled in the Appalachian mountains, and the traditions (including kilt wearing) ARE widely celebrated in many areas around here, as my fellow North Carolinians can attest to. Thank God I now live in Asheville, where people are for the most part educated about heritage and applaud the celebration of it.
