Camouflage gear supplier never heard of kilts?

My sons and I attended Oklahoma D-Day last year for the first time (world's largest paintball event, google if curious). We had a great time, and are going back again. I signed us all up for the Commonwealth Expeditionary Force, 3rd I.D. Canadian Scots. Mostly, but not entirely, so that I would not be the only guy on the field in a kilt at a paintball event. As it turned out there were half a dozen or so of us that played kilted the whole week of events. But we were the only kiltes present, and all of us citizens of the US, even though there are loads of Canadians in the commonwealth, none of them chose the CanScots.

So I reckon we are just a weird bunch, and I am ok with it. No one laughs at us much on the field though. It is a very aggressive bunch of paintballers who play kilted at OK D-Day.

I wear my Robert Pell hemp kilt, and it is almost like armor. Camo kilts are on the field, and I will be taking a new one this year myself.

I think it is important to take your sense of humor along when kilted in most places around the US.

One thing I've always wondered about paintball: if you're hit in the apron, fore or aft, does it count as a hit? With trousers it would have just passed between your legs.
