    Darrell,

    It's always refreshing to hear there are others 'like me' (i.e. disabled, or differently-abled for all you PC types) who wear kilts. As I'm sure you know, it can be frustrating to be looked upon as 'different' or 'inferior' because of a physical impairment, but wearing a kilt can and does alter such ill-conceived perceptions. Like a few others here, I've found sporting a cane (out of necessity) sometimes 'merits' further compliments...strange as that sounds.

    I especially liked the ending of the article:

    “When they make a comment, I accept that graciously,” Lawrence said, “because this is the garment of a gentleman.”
    Well done.

    Darrell, congrats on a great article. I thought it was well presented and helped to highlight some of the functional aspects of the kilt that some people overlook, having never worn one themselves.
