    The week we spent in Scotland in Sept I was kilted the whole time, either my UK or a traditional kilt. I had two women at a tea shop say they appreciated a man with enough sense to wear a kilt. Another few merely stated the kilt looked good in passing. The only others I saw kilted were P1M and some guys at a train station dressed for a wedding. Otherwise, nobody seemed to pay much attention. Wear your kilt and enjoy it.

    I had this exact question last week at a local convience store. The question caused several folks around me to stop what they were doing to hear the answer. (kind of reminded of the old EF Hutton commercials ) My answer, 'I am over 40, 6 foot 2 250 pounds.... I wear it because I WANT TO'. One of the guys near me almost dropped his coffee when he heard that.

    Another good one. Pants are like cheap motels, no ballroom. And I love to dance! Works every time.
