Kilts and costumes

[Kiltman]

I don't see the problem with wearing a kilt as part of a costume, any more than I would have a problem with wearing a pair of jeans, a tuxedo, or a jellaba. If, for instance, I decided to dress as a bagpiper for Halloween, what else would I wear, if not a kilt?

I wish it were true that others see the wearing of a kilt in the same way they do jeans, etc.; but they don't.
I look forward to the day that a kilt can be as normal a wear as jeans. For now, I don't have a problem with it as part of the costume; but we must realize that for many it is only a costume.
