In my short, recent experience as a recovered Scot who has returned to wearing the kilt when he pleases, and not just for special occasions, I have found that my men friends do a double take and don't know what face to wear, while the women are sincerely complimentary. I also found myself communicating with a bevy of friendly skateboarding kids. Perhaps the reason was that when I saw their group paralysis at my appearance in the park I handed out an A5 information flier entitled "The Kilt" which I had assembled to hand out helpfully to those who were socially flummoxed. This I produced from my sporran. I gave them all out and went home to make some more.
But to return to the main theme, it does take guts to stand out from the crowd. I do take risks, but I'm not so sure about the hormones!

Are you serious? 
If so, a) that is totally awesome.
and b) is this something you might be willing to share with the rabble? (or at least in a PM/email)?

The flier
Yes, I am serious.
Yes, I am happy to give the link. It is found on our family news page of my website: http://www.fairservicenz.com/news.html at the bottom of the news and the photos of me (in the kikt) and my wife. As you will read, the flier is specific to me, what I believe and to New Zealand, but it shows what can be done. It is a great tool.
I am about to publish my autobiography too, and it deals withe the kilt wearing, and why.

But of course! Wouldn't expect it to be otherwise. But it does provide some really nice inspiration for what the rest of us could do in our own lives and situations, as appropriate.
Thank you for sharing that! And good luck with your autobiography!

Witnessing via your kilt pamphlet is brilliant.

Bumping this to say I'm wearing my kilt, my first. I was standing in the driveway when a neighbor drove past. She did a double take, slammed on the brakes, threw it in reverse, and had me step around to the driver's side so she could check me out. Said, "I like that in a man - confidence."
