    We went to a Harris Tweeter to get some cold drinks and an asst manager said "Wow! Cool Kilt!"

    Got a few glances from some of the ladies in the store. Heard no comments about my masculinity since I was accompanied by a purty lady AND a toddler...............

    I'm glad for your positive experience. I have found that most of the time no one says anything. Most of those that do say sonething speak positively, but there are a few others. Be ready for them.

    Sounds like a great start. If you like the freedom do try regimental at some point, at least to decide whether its right for you. I prefer regimental but occasionally go for the loose boxers depending on circumstances.

    Best regards,

    Smile First Outing

    My first time wearing a kilt was probably when I was barely out of diapers, (I danced in one till I was about 14 and then again with my daughter when she was about 15) but the only time I wear anything bifurcated with one, is when I'm highland dancing, and then, it's black briefs, or a black thong/pouch/banana hammock.
