my story.... I was stopped in at Walmart to pick up some batteries. A boy aout 8 grabbed his fathers shirt tail and said in a whisper as 8 year old boys do (quite loud), ""hee that guy is wearing a dress". I walked to another isle, the father grabbed the boy and walked over to me. He said excuse me but my son said you were wearing a dress, would you tell him what your wearing. I said sure, so i explained my kilt, sporran and sign duh and a few other things about kilts... along with that men wear kilts and women wear skirts and dresses. Them being african american I asked him if he has ever seen what some men in Africa wear, he said yes.. I stated that it just a national dress of some cultures, that are differant from what we americans wear. His father shook my hand and said thank you. I shook the young mans hand and told him to have a great day.
As i was leaving I heard his father also tell him, he never wanted to hear him make fun of what people wear, because you also would not like them to make fun of the clothes you are wearing. Your lucky that your mom and dad can afford to buy you nice clothes, not every one can.

thats it.. So when you wear a kilt expect looks and comments, and remember "real men wear kilts"
