Eh. Yes and no. Some guys just look at me like I'm insane. That's a given. I mean... what guy in his right mind would VOLUNTEER to serve on an ocean going vessel that SINKS ON PURPOSE?!?
Women tend to smile at me a lot.

Never been approached at all, really. A buddy of mine once asked "what's with the kilts?" "Comfort, man, comfort." That was the end of that.

Hmmm... not so sure if that is because the people seem to accept it, or I just don't care what they think. Either way... I don't feel like I have green hair and two heads at all.

Not unless you count the ribbing from my neighbor (who actualy thinks my kilts are quite nice looking... bear in mind all the ones I wear were made by me). Otherwise, no one responds this way at all. The worst comment I have heard was from one guy to another when they saw me... and it was nothing more than his declaration of a desire to be more endowed. ;)

Hmmm... Do recall, I live in Hawaii. Polynesians abound out here. Sarongs are pretty common, especially on Sundays. I see big Polynesian men in sarongs ALL the time. The only kilt wearer I have ever seen is myself in a mirror. I know there's at least one other XMarker on island, over at the Marine Corps base. He's on the other side of the island, where I rarely travel, though.


All in all, I'd not so much say that Honolulu is kilt "friendly" as I would call it "kilt tolerant."
