Survey: Do you get comments on a certain kilt over the others?

[GoodGirlGonePlaid]

I get the most comments on my "Scruffy Wallace" USA kilt. All women. All saying, "Ooooh I love your skirt!"
Next is my spruce green alt. kilt mini skirt, in which I get, all men saying, "cool kilt!"

It's interesting that the non-tartan one gets the "kilt" comment. Maybe because men are saying it and *they* know it's a man's garment.

I think all my tartan kilts get similar comments, but definitely what confuses a fair number of people is either of my camouflage kilts.

Lol all kidding aside, I would say I get very few comments when I am in my kilt, it's usually just when I reference that I wear them or when people are drunk.

Always comments on the plain black one, I think it's the lack of tartan pattern. The Mrs says it's too 'skirtlike'... I don't wear it out as much as the others

[Mike in Dayton]

I get more comments on tartan kilts than solid color utility kilts. Of my utility type kilts the one that gets the most comments is a khaki box pleat kilt.

I don't (yet) have a tartan kilt, so I cannot compare comments. However, I do get the common verbal comments -- "Nice kilt," "Cool kilt," and even a slightly excited French lassie who ran up to me to say, "I love your kilts." While serving beer at our local Celtic Festival two years ago, a guy wearing pants, asked where I got my kilt. I told him that I made it myself. His eyes grew big as he exclaimed (correctly), "That's an X-Kilt! Wow!"

I've only worn two tartans, but I can't say anyone has said anything specifically about the tartan.
I have heard a few people shouting "nice skirt" to people wearing non-tartan kilts here though

I barely ever hear a comment, weirdly enough. Most of the ones I do get are from family members making light-hearted fun of me, because that's just what my family does, I guess.

The few that stand out, from non-family are:

1) The Afro-American at the supermarket that said, "Gotta hand it to a guy in a kilt! You Scottish?"
My reply was "A little bit." Then he went and awkwarded it all up by saying, "I'd like to know
more of my families history, but I already know where that goes."
2) The guy at the liquor store that said, "Wish I had the ***** to wear a kilt."
I told him, "Get the kilt. The ***** come later."
3) The waitress at the bar that asked "What's under the kilt?"
I told her, "A Man. With a huge...... throbbing........ Heart." She blushed. I got a
free drink. All was right again.

The negatives have been very few. In fact I can only remember 2. One was a bunch of snickering from Homie G and the Wiggermen as they sported their 4 inches of underwear reveal and had their shirts tucked into said skivvies.

The other was from a high school punk that needed to show his pals how witty he was by yelling, "HEY BABY! NICE LEGS!" as he was going 35 mph in the opposite direction. He wasn't even the one driving, so I wrote it off as basic turdery, and laughed it off.

I seem to get more comment on my 8 yrds. Im sure its because they hang better. But I definatley get more comment in my MacLean hunting.

As I was in line to see my drug dealer (Safeway pharmacy) the lady in front of me in line pulled some fluff off my pleats. As she did she said, "Theres some ... Um ... Its was ...". "Fluff?" I asked. Of course I had to say, "I guess I know where you were lookin.". Without battin an eye she said with a glint in here eye, "Well, I do like a man in a kilt.".
I was a good day. 4 great comments at stores & a very long look & smile from a high school twinky.
