Mackenzie,
I think Nathan has about the best answer. It looks funny(to others).

Have you worn a belted plaid? If not, try it. I also am very interested in the history, practicality, and I guess "romance" of the great kilt. I have owned two of them and wore them on several occasions. Out in the sticks while camping, hiking or hunting, it is great. In town, you get a whole lot of bad looks, laughs, and finger pointing. Imagine the attention you get with a little kilt x 10.

One of the guys on here(he left) was really big into 1700 era Highland reenactemnts. He had it down pat, the history, styles, how to wear it, everything. I talked with him a few times and we decided that anytime you wear the small kilt you could wear the great kilt. The only thing you change is the kilt. We thought it would be cool to reintroduce the world to the great kilt and I started wearing it pretty often. To tell you the truth, I couldnt handle the attention it brought. I had mall Security Officers following me around thinking I was a homeless guy, even though I was wearing proper highland day wear, or trying to steal stuff because of the baggyness of the kilt.

If you can handle the attention and dont mind being the town "weirdo", more power to you!
