    I was out in Gettysburg this past weekend in a kilt. didn't get many looks either way. A few positive comments, but that's about it.

    I agree with Keith... Once you wear it on a pretty regular basis, you stop thinking about it and being "conscious of the fact" that you're in a kilt. You really DO get used to it and forget (or not notice) that people are looking at you.

    I have to agree with that. A couple of months after I started wearing a kilt to work, it occurred to me one day that I was wearing a kilt and hadn't given it a thought for the last 3 or 4 hours.

    Life isn't about wearing a kilt, it's about all the things you do while wearing one.

    I was just thinking the same thing myself!
    If they outlaw guns, can we go back to using swords?

    That is one of the reasons why I like to hang around the Goth/Alternative Crowd. They don't care.

    Most people won't say anything, even if they think it's funny. Some may smile or chuckle, but for the most part is goodnatured, and not mocking. I really don't notice most reactions, and don't care. All I have ever got were compliments.

    Most people like to see a kilted chap out and about, I think--especially women

    Seems to me that people from all races and nations seems to stare and gawp at the unusual. I get it all the time here. It's rude and I for one will always try to keep it in mind in the future.
