I'm a new kilt wearer, and I'm stil trying to decide if Boston is a kilt friendly place. I haven't recieved any negative feedback while wearing it around some of the more progressive areas, or areas near the universities. In fact just the opposite. I've received compliments, smiles, and over heard pleasent remarks.

Haven't worn it to any of the Irish-American communities yet. Ironically this is where I think I might recieve the most negative feed back. Unfortunately, the Irish-Americans in this area tend to be a bit parochial in their thinking. Lots of followers, very few leaders, group think and such. I don't think many would recognize the kilt as part of their Celtic heritage.

I did wear it to an Irish pub last night. Was well received too, but then again I always am when I go there.
