Last weekend I attended an X-Fest (Extreme Folk: Electric band music – Celtic, Blues, Zyedco) in south New Jersey USA.
In a resort campground. (A resort campground is one with porcelain flush facilities and hot showers.)
I wore a casual or contemporary kilt most of the time. Daywear USAK Casual or AmeriKilt, sans hose , nightwear SWK wool or HoS PV blend, wool hose.
As hippy-dippy as the event was, I still received the gamut:
The question from men and women: I did my best to recall all of the good responses from this forum.
My favorite is: What is under the kilt?
Why, it's the Loch Ness monster:
- Very old.
- Not often seen.
- Some say imaginary.
- (And another point that I’d best not post here.)
On the (mosh) dance floor, several kilt checks (meant in fun by lively lasses and welcomed).
Some sincere curiosity inquiries – teachable moments.
The funniest (?!) comment was from a woman with an eccentrically dressed and pierced young teenaged daughter in tow: “I really like kilts – except on men.”
Unteachable that one, but I could tell that the teen got it by the way she rolled her eyes at her mom.
Advice for new kilt wearers to wear the kilt a lot at home is good advice.
I do, and so some of the questions and comments came as a surprise since I often forgot that I was wearing a kilt.
