Saw another kilt in the grocery store

I have only seen one other person in a kilt that was not at a kilt night. That was a guy in a light colored UK, off white cream or something. He was coming out of a knife show in portland while I was talking with a friend and a guy I know online. Didn't say hi or anything.

The looks I get range from funny to admiration. That's just part of doing something different.

This Saturday past, I attended a Holiday Celebration thrown by my wife's employer. I was quite surprised to find another person kilted at this black-tie event. It was a pleasant surprise.

That's fantastic Glassman, I can relate to how good that must be.
I guess that something that is rare must be very special!

I can only wish for the time when kilts will be a common sight in our streets, how long will it take for men to wake up and see that kilts are for men to wear??
Keep up the fyne work!

And living just down the road from Glass Man in Fairfax, VA I've yet to see anyone else wearing a kilt in NOVA myself!

I have seen a few other kilt wearers throughout southern California. My favorite place to wear my kilt for a reaction is to Disneyland. I have even seen four or five other kilted men walking around the Magic Kingdom. I rarely get any comments and I have never had a negative one (6' 5" 280lbs. may be the reason) but my girlfriend does claim that while the men are fairly discreet about their looking, the women are blatant in their full body inspection. It really does not matter if I am wearing a UK or a traditional kilt. I think some people just enjoy the change.

I guess that in "weird" Southern California, the kilt seems to be fairly normal as clothing goes.

I wonder if the same is true at Disney World. My wife is on me to take the family later this year. I will, of course, be kilted for the trip.

And living just up the road from Fairfax in Reston I've not seen anyone else outside of a festival or a wedding.

I was at the library last week and ran into a fellow X-Marks-er, whose name slips my mind at present. I was clad in my MacQueen USAK, which always turns heads (and illicits a few head scratches!) at the library.
