I usually wear a kilt for weekly grocery shopping since I can't wear them at work, I have get all the kilting I can in during off work times. Other than a few comments from youg kids, I have only had positive comments from people in the supermarket. One time I met an older couple from Scottland in the check out line and they llike my Black UK and were suprised & happy to see an American in a Kilt.
I've been on vacation in Vermont this week and I have had several positive comments from people in stores in Vermont.
