You'd think if anyone would be distracted by a kilt it would be highschool kids. But after the first two or three times I wore mine to teach in, it's become as ordinary to the kids as my wearing a blazer or Levi's.

Chances are if you started going kilted to work it would be distracting only for the first little bit, then folks would get used to it. It seems to only be an issue when you do something to draw attention to it.
