Anybody else doing Easter Kilted?

So I wore my kilt (Isle of Skye, with those great liturgical colours, with everything as in my avatar) when piping at the Easter Sunrise Service but I went home and changed into khaki slacks and a Glen Plaid tweed "Saxon" jacket before going to the 7am service at my own church.

Why? Maybe it seems odd, but at my own church I would feel like I'm being ostentatious or attention-seeking were I to wear Highland Dress there.

(Though many people there have seen me in kilts, as I play at the church's St Patrick's Day party every year.)

Richard, I had that exact same feeling one year, when I had been invited to Christmas Eve dinner by a friend who is Scots-Canadian. I had thought of wearing my kilt, but I was going to be attending service at a church near his home and didn't want to draw attention to myself by being kilted.
I got to the church, only to see a gentleman in FULL Highland grear in the first row of seats. Turned out that he was the Italian-named pastor's first cousin through said pastor's mother.

OK, guess everybody at church is so accustomed to me wearing my kilt I got nary a comment. One older lassy gave me a wolf whistle and well that was it.

The only other comment I got was from my wife, who I quote said "Well you look nice, those hose go quite well with the kilt and the shirt" ..... After all these years of her fussing about my wearing kilts she snuggled up to me and said "well you are different, but your my different" ...Ah the Power of the Kilt!

BroosterB1: well done!

The charcoal hose are intended to be sub fusc for the service. Lovat green would have been my choice otherwise. A cotton seersucker bow tie in pastel stripes seemed appropriate to the season. The idea of a seersucker jacket cut for kilt wear just seems better and better.
