    Your '93 400E is in great shape, and at least it matches alot of tartans, that is a teenage girl for you my daughter is 14 as well and does not like to be seen with me when I wear my kilt.

    the only negative comments I ever recieve are from teenage kids trying to be cool in front of their friends. Any commnets from adults are always inquisitive and positive.

    Just this last year my nephew graduated and became a full fledged fire fighter and I attended his graduation kilted. The only other kilt was worn by the piper but he disappeared immediately after leading the graduating class in. After the graduation while folks were milling around I was approached by three LAPD Officers who were there for the event and as many veteran fire fighters all inquiring about the kilt. It is amazing how the kilt can erase those strange barriers between the occupations and get people to talking casually about some subject they have in common.

    You must not be at the wrong bar.

    My wife and I were in a hurry to meet some friends when accosted by a woman. When spotted she angled in and tried to strike a terrible long conversation and push the local St. Andrews Society. I mentioned one of my friends was wearing a kilt and we ran to truck. Oh, no while driving down the narrow dirt road guess who stood on edge of road and stuck her head in the truck to see my friends kilt. Next the scot accent from the women in the back seat put her over the edge.

    My adult daughter from my first marriage is very much into goth wear and while she approves of my black kilts, she'd be embarrassed to accompany me if I was wearing a tartan kilt. My wife likes all my kilts.

    Back from vacation and pics are posted I didn't have my kilts with me in Reno, and frankly I'm too delicate a flower to want to go kilted when the chill wind blows. It was, however, great kilt weather in Southern California, and I took full advantage of it. In addition to the responses mentioned in my first post, I got a couple of "nice kilt" from shop keepers, and passed on another UK card to a tobacconist, who reported owning several traditionals dating back to his days in a pipe band. The holidays ended with a bang with a party at our house, where several of our guests had never seen me kilted before. My wife noted that that every one seemed accepting of the concept, and thus further progress was made.

    Hope all of your holidays were happy too.

    Best regards,

    Jake

    Loved the pics! As to support from family members, I have an eighteen year old daughter who has been supportive since day one. I have always been the "different" dad what with the tattoos, my taste in music and now kilts. In her circle of friends I've got the reputation of being the "cool" dad! The only time she gets mad is when her friends come to the house and want to talk to me about old rock bands!!
