Shay, great post! Haven't seen much from you in a little while (or so it seems, maybe we have been following different threads or I missed you), but I think that you have hit on something. I have found that people (men and women) that have never spoken to me before at work have come up with a comment about the kilt, or something else entirely. Now that I wear a kilt, I am easily recognized. For example, one of the ladies who cooks in the on-site cafeteria saw me at the grocery store Saturday, just after I walked in and took my long coat off. She was walking by our cart, and when she saw the kilt, came over (actually pretty quick and aggressively!) and said "You work for ?ITCD?, don't you?" (Company name masked to prevent legal issues, but you can figure it out). I said yes (and she looked familiar to me), and she mentioned that he was a cook there and had seen me at lunchtime.

Anyway, we were discussing men making comments to other men about the kilt. Today while standing in line at the cafeteria to pay (which explains the above side track), a gentleman in line behind me asks where you buy a kilt and if you can buy them locally on Chicago. I respond that I don't know of a local source, and that I have purchased all of mine on-line. He comments that the lack of an inseam measurement must make it an easier to fit!

Anyway a good experience, and he was just trying to strike up a conversation about the kilt. Although, he at least referred to the kilt while doing so.
