Kilted while shopping

[Graham]

Even shopping in a supermarket, which I normally dread, is exciting when kilted!

Truth to tell, as often as my wife and I get to the stores and the mall it's very rare that anyone pays any attention to my kilt. Once in a great while someone will comment, generally positive, but it's rare. Just a nonevent.

My wife and I were just shopping on Saturday at the mall and I had my saffron duck cloth kilt on and we got lots of stares from people. The thing i noticed most of all was the children they aren't afraid to say exactly what they mean. Parents are funny cause to them it is such a shock as to what their child says to a guy in a kilt. I also find that a lot of elderly people are very interested when they see someone in a kilt, they alomost always had a relative that wore and they remember how handsome it was you always get a history lesson.

spent all weekend in kilt, went to SW kilt night, had great time. Booked in hotel, 3 girls at reception desk, no one seemed to care about what I was wearing. Coming home we had to stop at Zellers department store, again no reaction to my wearing a kilt. We continued on and stopped at wal-mart, really nobody seemed to care. We also went to the Canadian Legion, some members came to talk to us, never mentioned anything about my kilt. Had a great time.

Oh, heck...I'll say it again: the way some of the folks around here dress to go out and conduct commerce, a kilt is positively FORMAL looking! I've got grown men showing up at the supermarket wearing those damn pajama pants and their flip flops (it still like in the thirties degree-wise in Chicago...and that's fahrenheit, you metric types!) and these guys are not in the best shape of their lives, either...what do they think that their teenagers? I got the teenagers with the pants hanging off their arses and dragging behind them for a foot and a half along the ground. It's like trying to live with the cast of "RENT" floating around fer cryin' out loud! So instead of these people asking us "why are you wearing a kilt to the grocery store?" they should be THANKING us for bringing the tone up a notch!

Rant, rant, rant, rant, rant!

I rarely get comments any more. However, I do get quite a few double takes... mostly from the middle eastern folks that populate the neighborhood. I suspect most people just figure I'm a bit eccentric. As far as Wal*Mart goes... it seems to attract a "diverse" clientele most of time, so a guy in a kilt will fit right in!

Same here in Oklahoma. I think nightclothes are replacing jeans as the default garment of choice for the non-kilt-aware.
