I don't mean to just jump in, being new here and all - to this group not to the wearin' of the kilt.

My good friend Robert McLeod and I and our wives have begun a tradition here in the Detroit/Port Huron Michigan area of wearing our respective kilts especially on New Years Eve. We go to a fine resturant or bistro. Have a great dinner and just really enjoy the evening. We get a few quizical looks but generally the comments are, as one lovely lady said, "Good for you to show your national pride." My scottish heritage is a bit deluted but Bob's is 100%.

BTW I have 2 kilts my family kilt is the Ross Weathered Hunting, in honor of my wife and her parents (Mom was a Corbett - hense Ross)

The other is a band Kilt - Modern Wilson.

At midnight I get out the pipes and give a wee blaugh for the folks in the resturant. and yes, I always ask permission first...my wife would soon answer the question of what's worn under the kilt if I didn't ask.
