Freud, were he alive and kilted up, would probably tell you that Stan secretly wants to wear the kilt too, he's just afraid that other men would hassle him like he's hassling you.

Sounds like you're showing him well how to deal with such flak. Hand him a few kiltmaker's cards or email him a list of kiltmaker's websites.

If he hassles you again, just say, "You know you want one too." and see if he doesn't blush.

No person's opinion of my kilt is more important than my freedom to wear the kilt.

I love that!

Do it... ;-) Then, let us know what his reaction is...

I'm pretty lucky I guess; either due to my burliness of girth, or the inexplicable (but undeniable) ex-cop vibe I tend to give off, I hear very few disparaging remarks . . of course, running my own business in the town I grew up in also gives me an edge.
But I do indeed hear "the skirt remark", from time to time - sometimes droll, sometimes pleasantly baiting, sometimes exploratory.
And if they aren't trying to obviously irritate me, what I prefer for a response is: "It's a kilt, not a skirt; if I wore something under it, then it would be a skirt!"
That nearly always elicits nods & murmurs of amused enlightment, or outright, good-natured laughter, and a resulting sense of appeasement.
Occasionally, a male of equivalent size to myself will actually follow-up my response with a genuinely derogatory remark, and then I know that it's time to either begin assertively ignoring him, or go nose-to-nose for a little MYOB reminder . . all depending on the venue of the when & where.

Sounds like a clear case of what a friend of mine would call "cranium anal inversion."
