2/5/10 was my first day out in public in my kilt, at least all day. The previous evening I dropped my nephew off at his college dorm kilted and got some funny looks and a couple of polite questions but nothing much. The next day 2/5/10 I took my daughter to school, ran some errands at the mall, target, etc. and even delivered flowers (a funeral home and private residences) kilted.
One of the employees stopped to stare but when I spoke she was polite and we talked for several minutes. That evening we capped the evening with at a pub listening to our favorite local band "My Three Kilts." It is the second time we have seen them live and they were impressed by my kilt. We talked to them before the show and I even passed on a SW kilts card to them. They are wearing UK's now but the singer especially was interested in aquiring more kilts. I did have one semi-uncomfortable encounter at the bar with a local but it was more or less that he did not have the guts to wear a kilt in public (not everyone is perfect). He was a little denegrating but not terrible, and my fiancee was great about it. I had photos made with the band afterward and hope to post them in the next week or so.
