It's interesting, I get the reverse of what you've encountered. Most of the appreciative folk concerning the kilts I wear have come from the age-mature, while the derisive under-breath comments and guffaws have been from the age- and brain-immature. Just today I was out with the family, in South Nags Head NC, getting groceries for our Turkey Week, and got great compliments from three older ladies who were all smiles about my hybrid black watch. One even asked if I played the bagpipes!

Meanwhile, two carts of teenie boppers giggled whenever I passed by and commented about an old guy wearing a skirt.

Guess it takes all kinds. I was grinning at both.
