A few weeks ago I attended a student opera at the local university. Being that it was a matinee, I didn't go full formal. I was wearing a black eton jacket and my FK. The material of the two garments is so close it looks like a kilt suit. I wore two-tone brogues, off white hose, a semi dress sporran, tux shirt with no tie and a black Christies of London eton cap. At the intermission I was outside smoking a pipefull of Comptons Balkan mix when a gaggle of doyennes passed by. "You look beautiful!" one exclaimed. As I returned to my seat another ancient but extremely well dressed woman buttonholed me. "I saw you at the Chan Centre for the last opera," she admitted. Then in a confidential tone: "Are you someone important?"

Last month I wore full dress to the symphony closing concert (PC, Maple Leaf 16 oz, white fur sporran, ecru hose and matching flashes). While waiting in line for drinks at intermission, a man behind me tapped me on the shoulder and said, "I don't think you realize how intimidating you are." Before I could question him we were at the front of the line ordering and I didn't see him again. Intimidating? I never thought of myself as intimidating.

Yesterday I attended a convention for european Celtic FC supporters in Benidorm. I thought that I was going to be surrounded by thousands of members of the "tartan army", but my surprise was that I was the only kilted guy of all those 6000 people. At first I felt somewhat uncomfortable, but I lost that sensation as soon as I noticed the respectful looks, received three invitations for a pint and many questions. Gals started to approach and all finished quite well... but maybe the most relevant thing for me was that a lot of guys looked at me full of respect and saluted me....IN SCOTS!... they were simply amazed when they noticed the only kilted guy there was a spaniard... and maybe more than one complained for leaving the kilt at home!

1 - GMan, Zardoz, his lovely wife and I were at a bar in LoDo (lower downtown Denver) and as we were leaving I overheard a young lady saying to her gentleman friend "I don't care, I like them" as she was looking at us walking by.

Eric, this thread was only started yesterday evening at 7:25PM CST and already has 17 posts. How much more do you want?

My first post to this forum contains a number of things that I've heard while kilted. While they are all positive, none are as amusing or surprising as those posted here in this thread.

Last Sunday, one of the ladies in my church who believes in her sense of humor more than most of us said to me in the parking lot "i like your skirt".
My 8yo and 6yo daughters both, in unison, and quite loud, corrected her with "IT'S A KILT!!".
