    I rarely get negative comments anymore. I think it alll comes down to confidence.When I first started wearing the kilt about 4 yrs ago now, a gentleman in my appartment building said
    "I like your skirt."
    My responce
    "It's not a skirt, its a kilt."
    Then he says something like "Well its a nice skirt, what's under it."
    My responce this time
    "It's not a skirt, its a kilt, but if you want to get your @$$ kicked by a guy in a skirt keep talking"
    He has kept quiet since, funny thing is the same day I had a number of women say how much they liked seeing it, I also had an older Scottish gentleman ask me if I was entertaning at a pub, and I have had people ask if I was at a wedding.
    It seems people think it has to be a special occasion to don a kilt. For the most part people are harmless and they say the first thingthat enters their heads, once they get used to seeing you in a kilt they really like it.

    I've not had any really negative response but my older daughter, who's 14, seems kinda creeped out by it. I've tried to get her over it, but she is still pretty resistant. To put it into proper perspective, though, she also says she doesn't like riding in my '93 400E because it's green.

    We went to the movies yesterday, and I had a fellow ask me 'what's the occasion?' I said, 'I'm not at work!' That's all the occasion I need.
