Good on ya' for having the persistence to go the full year...these days, I've gotten to be a very occasional kilt wearer so you have my admiration.

Yeah...how can people look at a kiltie and think that he's strange with all the "fashion statements" going around these days? I've seen guys wearing plaid shorts that were so baggy that I had to take a second look to see that the shorts weren't a kilt. Yesterday I saw some young guy wearing shorts with too-short pajama pants under them and some cutesy little stocking cap with animal ears on it....tres chic, no? Mentioned to my ma that I was going to try to remember to wear the kilt downtown one day so I could check out some of the jackets and vest at the newly opened branch of Hot Shop that we have here now..."Why can't you just carry it and put it on at the store?" Because, ma, those of us who wear the damn things are actually happy to wear 'em and if somebody has a problem with it, it's their problem and not ours!

Carry on, sir...you are acquitting yourself well.

Best
