I am composing a response at the moment, addressing the fact that just because someone is wearing a kilt doesn't make them a deviant, and the fact that it is regardless unacceptable to ask such questions in a civilized setting.
I will keep everyone posted.

After reading original post and their response to you, it sounds like it wasn't the kilt that caused the denied entry (as the title of the thread suggests), but what was under (or not under) the kilt that caused the denied entry. They don't say anything about having an issue with the kilt at all.
Does it suck that one moron ruined it for others? Yes, but that is usually the case with life. Why do you think half the "rules" at Xmarks are here!
Is it fair?No, but they have the right to put in place any reasonable policy they like for their pub. I find the chain pubs are often more likely to base policy on experience as a chain based on problems rather than on individual pub experiences based on the patrons.However they also need to find a way to make the pub a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone. How would you feel if your wife/sister/daughter was one of the women the first kilted jack *** exposed himself to? Anyone's concern would be for them not the kilted community.
I do think it is a strange double standard that the guy would ask a guy in a kilt if he was regimental, just as easy for an **** in jeans to do that same thing if he is commando. Especially given that they don't ask people in pants the same question. It sounds like a band aid solution to me.
You said you were not a fan of the place anyway, so my advise is either put on boxers under the kilt when you go to this pub or find a better pub that doesn't care what you are wearing under your kilt.
