It's all in what your goals are. My goal is to make kilts a viable clothing choice by the end of 2012. The occasional wearer isn't really about that, and he helps reinforce the "kilt-as-costume" stereotype (ie: that a kilt is something that is only worn under very clearly defined circumstances). I'll grant that the occasional wearer is better than the never-gonna-wearer, but unless they wear their kilts somewhere other than the altar, the highland events field or the Burns supper table, they are not really what I'm about.

Am I saying they're wrong to do so? Hardly. But I'll do what I can to make them more than just occasional wearers. Trouble is, I'm not sure what to do. So I thought I'd ask around.

Can the same be said about people that buy a tux for their wedding?
I don't know! That's where statistics would come in handy.

Ain't bashin', just nudgin'. They gotta know that kilts are good the other 362 days of the year, too. And, yeah, I know that they might know that already. But there's knowing it, and then there's KNOWING it.
