    Personally, I found that I was more worried about what people might say than they were.

    For the most part nobody will say a thing. They are too wrapped up in their own lives to notice anyone else.

    Of those who do notice, most won't say anything because they don't know how to approach you.

    Of those who do say something, most will be complimentary or curious.

    There may be a few jerks, but not that many.

    Just pick a spot, strap on your kilt, and head out.

    This mirrors my experiences. I started at a Celtic festival, so it basically fit in. Next I wore it at a Brews Festival, and was a big hit...may people took pictures with me, and there were many kilt-checks that happened ;). After that, it pretty much never bothered me. I have worn a kilt to parties, to church, and have even flown in a kilt. First time was Chicago to Dallas. Second was Boston to Toronto. Again, most people ignore it because they don't know what to say or do. Many positive comments, a couple negatives. But if we really cared about what other people thought we wouldn't be kilted in the first place.

    Kilt on!!
