In a perfect world 1. My wife wouldn't complain so much about me wearing my kilt. 2. My wife would give up on counting how many beers I've had at any one point in time. 3. I'd be able to figure out a way of wearing my kilt while riding my Harley without the obvious happening.

Just being able to wear it at work. That would be nice.
Do I want it to be commonplace? No. That would mean that there is no more signifiquance to wear one. Plus, we'd be stuck with cheap imitations and the real stuff would be unbuyable. Then some teenagers might wear them way to low as they do with their pants now...

I voted for no one would look twice at me wearing my kilt (even my solid colour contenporary ones) and it would be just as comen (sp?) to see a guy in a kilt as in tr*users for work or whatever

I can't vote in this poll because "in a perfect world" all four options would apply under certain circumstances.

I guess the reason I wear the kilt, the way I wear the kilt, is that I want to look the best I can when I go out. I want people to notice that I am well dressed and look clean and maybe even "classy." After that I want them all to back to what they are doing with no more thought given to it...or me.

I suppose I could achieve the same effect with a $5000.00 classically styled bespoke suit, silk ties, bespoke shoes (I've got that one covered) and $300.00 shirts...but it wouldn't be quite the same, would it?

I guess when it really comes to the heart of things...I wear kilts for me. Seriously, I'm fairly oblivious unless someone is overtly positive or a real pain. So I guess to answer the question, I really don't think about how others view it, so in a sense--isn't the world perfect already?

In general, it should be ordinary for me to be the center of a sense of awe or fascination.....

The deported option is really funny -- 'naysayers' are going to be shuttled back and forth constantly. Or are they deported to the moon?

I voted for the happy medium. I'll admit that the attention from the lasses is nice at times.

It would be nice though to not have the negative comments, which luckily for me have been few and far between. I didn't vote for the kilt becoming commonplace because I too am fearful that would lead quickly down the path of lowrider jeans and ripped t-shirts. It's nice to know that when I strap on my kilt I can dress it down to go to the pub, or dress it up to look nice for an event.

I like the happy medium. I think everyone likes to be complimented on a color they wear well, or when they've taken the time to dress up, if only a little. If no one mentioned the kilt ever, I'd probably think I was doing something wrong.

I think the happy medium... I would like it to a common occurence, but yet have the positives that come with it... As for the attention, I get that already because of my size, or riding my Harley... Hanging with my biker buds. I just think a kilt will be the cherry on top.. I do not have to be in the spotlight, but sometimes it finds me.
