    Not to get too far off topic, but take a look at the kilt hose link between first & second post. Then check out specials. I have several pair, very serviceable, very affordable. Excellant service, fast delivery.

    I must admit that I have been a little bit disappointed that I get almost no coments at all, the nearest full size grocery store is in a small farming town about 15 minutes away. No one said anything about my kilt. The small community where I get mail, has two convience stores and a post office. Not a word. If I drive 45 minutes to the nearest large city, I might get a "nice kilt" maybe.

    Boy - how things change... I remember going through seven kinds of worrry about "if" I should start wearing my new kilt to teach in this semester. With the support from my boss and this crazy little clan I walked into the classroom first day of class in January and swallowed hard. In just a few months its gone from an oddity to the norm (as normal as I can get...) and now - each week I only hear about my kilt I haven't worn one to class yet!

    If you are like me - I say don't let your assumptions about how others will react stop you from wearing a kilt - its likely a bigger deal in your head than it is to anyone else..

    Indeed, just be yourself. It's a fact that most of the objections often come from ourselves.

    Derek,

    You are one of many people I know, who just emits comfort while donning the Cilt. Glad that others have noticed. Well done.

    Glen ... Like you, personally I don't think anyone really need say much more when asked 'why are you wearing a Cilt' .. 'because its so comfortable'. I have also added on a few occasions that at the price they cost, I refuse to just hang it in the wardrobe waiting for that 'special occasion'.

    Derek,

    Great response and so very true; hope you don't mind if I use it myself.

    Well, said Phil. Like Ron, I've been wearing kilts full time for over 7 months. People notice, but it's just not a big deal. The only time people who know me comment anymore is when I'm wearing a kilt they have never seen.

    I remember the 2nd time I went out wearing a kilt, and a women remarked how wonderful it was to see a man wearing a kilt. She went on to say that more men should being wearing them, and that men here in the US needed to lose their "John Wayne attitude."
