Rex,
Great story. As for the comment "You wear it well", I think that really distinctive clothing or costume can often overwhelm the wearer. All people see is the outfit, not the person. At Halloween, anyone can don a Reanaissace nobleman's costume. "Wow great costume!" people will exclaim. But if worn with flair they see you as a Renaissance era Lord!
It is the same with the kilt. A confident and dapper gent wears it, for a less confident one the kilt wears him. If that makes sense.

Rex, if anyone can pull off wearing a burlap sack it's you!
Cheers
