Well that is an interesting question, as someone who wears a kilt on a daily basis, as clothing and not a costume, I would not, and do not have a problem wearing my kilt anywhere that I go. Does it bother some people, yes, do their prejudges effect me, if I allow them to. I have got to the point in my life where I can dress myself, and I am also grown up enough to not let what others wear bother me. I wish others would see it that way.

No matter where I go people of other cultures have had positive things to say about my kilt wearing with some of them it is because they are proud to wear the "costume" of their heritage and can therefore relate.

Today as I was going into the mall I heard over my shoulder in a Jamaican accent "Hello Mr. Stewart." So I said back "How did you know?" I stopped we talked for a bit and I told him that while I am not a Stewart my mother is and while this is not the Stewart tartan I do have a Stewart tartan at home, we talked about the importance of heritage and we both learned something it was all in all an enjoyable exchange, but only because we both went into it with open minds.
