Greetings MacHummel! Indeed you responded properly to this poor maladjusted individual. Though unofficially mandated, I do require that ALL members of our band dress "modestly," if you catch my meaning, for we feature as many women in our band as we do men, and youngsters as well. I believe it to be the best policy to avoid any and all embarrassing situations by compromising this one minor aspect of traditional kilt-wearing in the interest of our band. It seems that you are wise and thoughtful to take in consideration others when wearing the kilt, for whether we like it or not, this garment can make it tricky at times to maintain modesty. And does it strike anyone else as simply downright rude to ask such a question? I find this to be no less offensive as asking a female stranger if she is wearing panties. But maybe that's just me.

And everyone, I apologize, but please understand that I will talk about my band a great deal, seeing as I spend more time with my them than I do my own family. Hopefully you will all come to tolerate it. ;)
