What is your most common question?

Most of the time I get asked what is the occasion? This is followed by what clan is represented. But more than questions I get comments of "looks good" or "I like the kilt." Always makes me feel a little more proud to be wearing a kilt.

Usually just pleasant compliments, often "Are you a piper?" but my favourite was from a young woman in my parish when I turned up kilted for the first time. She asked "Is that real?" I know she was asking if it was really my heritage, but since it came out sideways, I answered, "No; it's your imagination. I'm actually standing here in my underwear."

90+ percent of the time I am asked about the tartan. That makes a pleasant way to start a conversation with someone you not otherwise have met.

We just completed a cruise vacation (Baltimore to Bermuda) where I wore a kilt to dinner every night - either dressy or casual. The most frequent question was about the tartan - either "What tartan?" or "What clan?" I only had two questions of the "under" variety. One of Rocky's Casual Kilts (American Heritage) got the most use on that trip.

BTW - I had packed only one pair of pants and did not wear them at all. I did have a pair of shorts that got some use, mostly outside in the wind.
