    Sorcererdale - I agree - You have come up with a classic line. Hope you add that to your signature soon. I know I'm gonna use it when that question comes up, and it always does.

    Lux - Can you imagine what happened to husbands back in the 50s and 60s who weren't comfortable with their wives wearing pants when women's pants came into fashion? There are loooooong threads on wives who can't handle kilts on this board...you'd probably find them searching for the word wife.
    You are right, you don't want folks as friends who hassle you for wearing kilts.

    IT IS MIND BOGGLING THAT IN A FREE COUNTRY SOMEONE WOULD QUESTION HOW SOMEONE ELSE CHOSE TO DRESS....ESPECIALLY IF THEIR GARMENTS HAD A STRONG CULTURAL HISTORY.

    Actually, I've found my kilts facilitate meeting good people. I haven't seen any negative effect on making friends. In fact, being kilted from the start in a new area is a plus, nobody knows you to not wear them and they'll pretty much accept it more easily than people that have known you for years before you started wearing kilts and you'll get less grief about it.

    I echo Bubba's sentiment, here...*nodding*... The unhappy interactions are few and far between. The good ones are everyday.

    7 years AND one week, if you don't mind!

    You are right. Four days IS a good start. I went from age 14 to age 63 and very much doubt I spent four consecutive days kilted in all those years. Boy! Have I made up for it since though!!
