    Re: Poll: How often do you see kilts worn?

    Excluding places where you would expect a kilt, certainly less than 5 times a year. Kilts just aren't the normal wear around here.

    Re: Poll: How often do you see kilts worn?

    Jeff, I must need to get out more. With the exclusions listed, I don't see any kilties around town.

    Excluding pipe band performances, the only time I see kilts on others in this area are at the St Pat's parade and the regional Highland Games.

    Re: Poll: How often do you see kilts worn?

    Usually, I am the only one in sight (except for the occasional kilt night). That would make it less than a dozen times a year.....
    EPITAPH: Decades from now, no one will know what my bank balance looked like, it won't matter to anyone what kind of car I drove, nor will anyone care what sort of house I lived in. But the world will be a different place, because I did something so mind bafflingly eccentric that my ruins have become a tourist attraction.

    Aside from kilts worn by me (and the local Highland gathering), none at all.

    Re: Poll: How often do you see kilts worn?

    Maybe 5 a year. Which is suprising low, given the population/size of the DFW area.

    Five times/year or less, unfortunately!

    Definitely much more than 100 times a year.

    Re: Poll: How often do you see kilts worn?

    Somwhere between 25-50. There is an old gent who frequents one of the local shopping areas that I do and he is always wearing a kilt. Also, whenever I visit a mate who resides up in the country, we always have our kilts on.

    Re: Poll: How often do you see kilts worn?

    With those exclusions, 0-5. Pretty much never around these parts; I don't think I've ever noticed anyone wearing a kilt (trad or otherwise) "in the wild". I had one auspicious sighting this year: I attended an installation of officers at a Masonic lodge, and nearly all of the incoming officers were wearing highland dress. (The incoming Master was a Gordon.) That event was what reawakened my dormant kilt jones, and led to me finding this place and going down the kiltmaking rabbit hole.
