This may be how others view a person in a great kilt while not in a play/living history setting.
    In my younger days, I trained horses, and worked the horse shows in New York State. Sure I wore western (or English style ) wear when appropriate, but I didn't otherwise pretend to be a westerner or English gentleman, We referred to those who did as "drugstore cowboys."

    As far as a great kilt goes, there are events where such may be appropriate, but not as everyday traditional Scottish wear.

    Hope this works on my phone. Finally remembered to get a pic taken in my great kilt (in overdressed for the occasion mode). Sorry there's no pic of the back. We were celebrating World Whisky Day, so one can't remember everything.

    Just my personal 25 cents worth: I think a neatly donned great kilt is very suitable for formal dress, such as a wedding.
    Also for a walk or hike in the woods.
    But then, I admit to being an eccentric, and have no problem with being "judged" as such.
