It shuts nosey Nellies up, for sure. "You asked so I'm going to tell you," is often my response, too.

True (and you can ask my wife this), but I am always open about discussing why I am wearing Highland dress if I should happen to be someplace or at some event where others are not dressed in the Garb of the old Gaul. I actually do go into a rather lengthy story/history of my Macpherson ancestors, which I am always excited to chat about, but again, most people tend to fall asleep, or simply excuse themselves.

Why do I, an American mutt that may or may not have a drop of Celtic blood, wear a kilt? Because of my love of electronic theory.
I've found that most relationships work best when no one wears pants.

Being Texas/German I would have to wear Lederhosen to be in culture but darn those things look too short and tight and would cramp my coin purse a bit much. The kilt is much more comfortable and looks a heck of a lot nicer.
