The Stare
So I walked into my local grocery store with my girlfriend last night to pick up some dinner fixings...
Standing at the front of the produce section was an older gentleman who proceded to blatantly stare  open-mouthed at me from the moment I walked in the door until I walked by him. I passed him a few more times while in the store and he just kept staring too.
Since I started wearing the kilt regularly, this has to be the wierdest response that I've had to it.

I've never got one like that. He must have led a very sheltered life. I DO see folks trying to look but not look directly. It's funny to watch.

If this is the men's department, where are the kilts?

I just chuck it up as another dumb redneck trying to figure out why the dude is wearing a "skirt" and walk on.

The guy was obviously a few fries short of a happy meal... Smile and forget it. By now, he'll have picked his nose and moved on to the next mystery in life.

The gentleman doesn't know it yet ... but what he was showing was unprocessed jealousy. Envy. Covetousness. (Of the kilt, that is, not you.) His subconscious was so wrapped up in how he too might wear a kilt, that the part of the brain that tells him not to stare dumbstruck was bypassed completely. It will take him a while, but it will click for him eventually.

I get stares too. But that's expected. Kids do this alot. Say things like - look at that funny man. They don't understand what a kilt is and thier parents have to correct them. I went out last night to a store and got short stares. The best part was when I was leaving outside and a really sharp lady in running shorts said: "I love your kilts". That made my day. We all need this. I turned around and said "nice shorts".
Kilt on!

I get stares all the time. Even before I started wearing the kilt because Germans stare at everyone. Before the kilt I could generally blend in pretty good but now I regularly get the up and down stare. Some smile and some look confused. Either way I'm comfortably dressed and looking good. I'll see how things go in TN when we PCS in Dec.
YMOS,
