First time out.

[Monkey@Arms]

Congrats on your first outing. It gets easier over time. Just wear it with confidence and have fun. I know what you mean about being concerned because of the reports of being hassled, I think the negative responses get posted because we need a sympathetic place to vent, and the "nice kilt" comments are too numerous to report.

Best regards,

Jake

Good for you. The first couple times outside in a kilt is the hardest (it isn't really hard to be out in a kilt, it's waiting to see what people will say). Since your first time out was fun, it keeps getting easier, so easy that you'll wonder why pants were even invented.

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like an excellent start to a lifetime of kiltedness.

It's fun, the world didsn't spin out of it's orbit. Enjoy your new found freedom!

Sounds like a good day out. Walk with your head up and look like you are the most confident man in GA and people will treat you as such. I wondered a bit before my first time and it turned out I'd no reason for concern. I've only had one negative comment and that fellow had over-indulged in adult beverages. Many more times have there been compliments or favorable comments from teenagers up to folks much older than I. Enjoy the comfort and the attention.

YMOS,
Tony

Stand tall, walk straight, look the world in the eye, and never underestimate the power of the kilt!

It only get's more natural from here. Congratulations on getting out there.

That first stroll amongst the public is like no other. Congratulations on the big step.

Thanks to all of you for your encouragement! I took my wife to dinner last night whilst kilted. Went to a very nice Italian resturant and this led to the most humorous incident of the day. While heading to the washroom, the gentlemen in front of me looked over his shoulder to see who was behind him. Upon seeing the kilt, he did a double take...... And walked right into the wall in front of him. All I could do was smile! Of course, this led to the conversation on why the kilt and what clan, etc.... Was a good end to a great day...

Now all I need to do is buy another Kilt so I can wear it more than once a week! (can any one say 'MacKinnon Hunting Ancient'?)
