I still don't understand why so many get so many different reactions to their kilts. I have stated many times before that I live in East Los Angeles, California and jokingly refer to myself as the only white man around. I went to vote yesterday in my best Scottish 16 oz. Macleod of Harris kilt complete with Gillie Brogues, kilt hose, white shirt, tie and vest topped off with my Balmoral and Clan badge. My Gillie Brogues have steel cleats that make first contact when I step and on the hardwood floors of the school gym that serves as the polling place they command attention from the sharp sounds they make. (the floors are about 1000 years old and couldn't be damaged by a hammer and chisel), When I walked into the room everyone looked up at me and I got nothing but respectful smiles from everyone there and not one snicker or sidewise glance. I did my voting and walked out with everyone wishing everyone a nice day.
