Recently several teen Sub Saharan ancestored males have stopped me to ask about the kilt and its history. I have been given many thumbs up from the teens with the low hanging trousers. All this very very recently.
I agree totally! Wearing the kilt is a good way to determine the true character of the people around you. The one person I thought would be most supportive, as he claims to believe in individual expression and diversity and all that, in truth turned out to be the most negative person. He has all kinds of piercings and tats and talks about how he will never conform to what other people want, and then he tells me "quit wearing a dress!" every chance he gets. On the other hand, my company owners, whom I always thought of as stuffy conformists, actually get a little upset on the rare occasions that I wear something other than a kilt. One of them has told me that clients have commented that I add a touch of class to the office.

So onto the real topic- I have one Amerikilt in black and I have 7 tartan kilts, and the AK and my saffron get more attention because they're solid colors and people aren't used to that. My tartan kilts seem to be taken more in stride.
