    My other half took me into the Hot Topic store that just opened in the mall last weekend. I was approached by a store employee sporting many piercings & a bright blue Mohawk. He asked about the kilt, how often I wore it ext. & seemed amazed when I told him the only place I didn't wear it was at work.

    The best part of the whole exchange was when punker boy said that he didn't think he had the guts to wear the kilt because of the extra attention it would draw to him. Then he told me that I was his new hero.

    I am 6'4", 220lb, sport a black UK whenever I can.

    Best positive experience -
    Girl, shouted across street - "Whaddya wear under that?"
    Me - "Boots!" (of course)

    Best negative experience
    Young punk - "Hey man, you a F****T?"
    Me - "Why, you cruisin' for a piece of a**?"

    His friends all laughed at him, and I walked away smugly.

    Stories...

    I've posted this one before, but it's still the funniest comment I've ever overheard while wearing a kilt:

    A few years back, I was on my way home from a school demo that I'd done in an ionar and breacan feile (great kilt). The convenience store nearest my house at the time was used to seeing me come in "dressed funny," so I wasn't concerned about it in the slightest.

    At some point in the previous week, I'd twisted my ankle, so I was using small-headed axe (a Dalcassian axe, if anyone's interested) as a cane.

    I walked toward the coolers at the back of the store to get my regular Diet Mt. Dew, and realized that I had an audience - four teenagers making very obvious preparations for a "beer run."

    The clerk gave me a nod as I passed him, and then we both heard one of the kids:

    "Hey! What's with the dude in the dress?"

    (hissed reply)

    "Shut up, man. Din't you see 'Braveheart?' They KILL people for that! And he has an axe!"

    I wasn't sure who was going to laugh first - me, or the clerk.

    I always enjoy it when I overhear the younger ones:

    "Hey, he's wearing a skirt."

    "No silly, that's a kilt. Don't you know anything."
