Promotion of the kilt & is it a skirt!

[Rob Wright]

It is the visitors/tourists from overseas who make the fuss, wanting to be photographed with the kilt wearer, etc.

And we all know how camera shy you are right Ham

I have gotten to the point where I no longer let the skirt comment bother me. It is my belief that anyone bothering to make the comment already knows what the garment is so there is no point in correcting the error. The person is simply throwing a jibe best ignored.

I'll go you one better--most of the time I don't even notice that they called it a skirt. Then a few minutes later it will register, and I'll wonder if they were being cute or ignorant. Either way, I figure not noticing is for the best.

Live and let live!

I've gotten a few "I like your skirt" comments recently. They were all from women and they were all sincere. Some were from classmates. One was a woman who struck up a long conversation in line at the grocery store.

Today, a female clerk in the Safeway supermarket interrogated me for several minutes about the kilt. I was wearing the Nightwatch Camo UK, black work boots with hiking socks topped in hunter red, a maroon hooded sweatshirt, and my favorite khaki cap -- a rather "guy" looking outfit.

Also today, I got some nice comments from a woman who's best friend's boyfriend wears a leather Utilikilt.

What I find interesting is that many women are very curious as to why a man would wear a kilt (or skirt). It makes sense to them when I explain the comfort and practicality of it, especially when I remind them of how male anatomy is constructed.

So, I found I don't mind someone calling my kilt a skirt as long as it's not meant as a put-down.

Same here. I don't think that I have ever been complimented on my "skirt" in a sarcastic or derisive fashion. Anymore, I don't even bother offering that while what I am wearing is technically a skirt, it is more accurately referred to as a kilt. I take the compliment in the spirit in which it was intended and either engage in a little more conversation or move on after a polite, "Thank you!".

Been home sick with a cold...ventured out to get supplies and stop at the post office to pick up mail (they don't deliver up here).

So coming out of the post office I meet a Navajo friend, ex-Marine. I'm wearing my new Pittsburgh Kilts Desert MARPAT and he just smiles and says, "Where's your bagpipe Marine?" But he said it with the utmost respect of a friend talking to a friend...nice....a sideways compliment spoken with respect by a friend.
