Knowing what we all know now ...

I went to high school in the early/mid sixties. Conformity was not just suggested it was absolutely required. HOWEVER, outside of high school I frequently wore a kilt because it was a completely normal thing to do. I don't recall a time when there wasn't at least a couple of them in my wardrobe. Thank heavens for a Scottish mother.

By the time I got to University times had changed. My kilts sometimes got comments, but nothing really nasty. But the kid who wore lederhosen all the time got ragged something awful. But to his credit he didn't change.

Someone here says in his signature, "kilts are garments, not costumes". Amen to that, and it is just jolly well too bad who doesn't like it.

No kidding. Complete with crosspiece suspenders. I don't remember ever seeing him in anything else.

Hey, what about the naked guy at one of the colleges a few years back who refused to wear anything more than shoes for the majority of the year...

Compared to that lederhosen is a walk in the park - and a kilt would be considered far too overdressed!
