I seldom wear my kilts to work (safety regulations) and don't wear them around the house that much because of wrinkling. But I do wear them out whenever I can do so for more than an hour or two.

Maybe because there is a lot of Scottish history in my city or that everyone simply knows what a kilt is, but I have never had a bad comment. Maybe a couple folks were sarcastic in the "nice kilt" comment, I don't know, but I choose to take those as good.

The only "skirt" and "dress" comments I EVER get are from my friends teasing.

Of those positive comments I would say it was a 50/50 split from men & women. The men often ask about kilts and say they wouldn't mind having one except for the expense...so I point them to SWK to look at inexpensive alternatives to start them out.

The women mostly express the "how good that looks" comments

Of course they almost always ask if I play the pipes (no...) and "The Question" comes up a lot, too...
