    Yeah, go and wear it. If they are getting confused because they don't see tartan?

    Well, Clan Ferguson print:

    (c) was in 1845 by RR McIan, he painted prints of the highland clans and some are in more historical garb. Like this one.. I think (don't quote me) that there are paintings of solid color belted plaides (plaide = means blanket it doesn't refer to tartan) in the first half of the 17th century. Matt Newsome's an expert on that stuff. His website is: http://albanach.org/

    So wear it, and have your accessories. The sporran being the most important. Kilt belt, hoes, and garter flashes.

    Like everyone here has said, be confident in your own identity because those idiots obviously aren't. And if it's a pretty woman complimenting you on your skirt, say "Thank You".

    It is simple.

    Look in a mirror.

    Do you look like a transvestite?

    If yes (unlikely) change shirt shoes socks etc.

    If no, go out and don't worry.

    You can tell.

    BTW transvestites don't want to wear kilts because they are too masculine looking.

    Daniel,

    I think that might be a leine. When I did Renaissance Faire the Irish wore something very much like that.

    Cheers

    Yeah, that happens.

    Most of the time people know what they're looking at and just want to see if they can get a reaction from you. Sometimes guys are just jealous because they don't have the cajones to wear a kilt and they know it. Sometimes it's pure ignorance. More rarely, it's malice against something that challenges their view of what's normal.

    Most of us here have learned to deal with such comments with grace and humor.
