I put on my Ameri kilt and kilt hose and went shopping in Harrisburg Pa today.
I feel very comfetible in my kilt and really dont care about the people around me but you get looks and strange stares from people and stupid question from the kid at circuit city whats with the kilt and I said i just like wearing it

That's just the way some people are. If you wear it.....They will get used to it....eventually!

If you are comfortable, then all is well!

Most people will say nothing. Those that do speak will be complementary for the most part. Be ready for the jerks.

[Joe Gondek]

Some people can't handle something out of their narrow view of the world.
Others are afraid of something different see it as as a threat to their opinion of correctness

But most people enjoy seeing someone in a kilt

Everywhere I go in Harrisburg, PA, I wear a kilt. My wife notices the stares, and such but I am to a point that I really don't notice it. Some of the people that gave me the hardest time the first time he saw me out, wore one for Guinness and Oysters downtown. He wore a kilt and was pretty impressed with the reaction he got. If you wear it out enough you will just be happy that you are comfortable and not worry about what others are saying, or doing. Life is to short to be uncomfortable when you don't have to be, and certainly too short to worry about what other people say.

Have fun

Just part of kilting.

Yesterday I'm in my bosses office and we're interupted by the big boss who makes a comment about dresses. I just told him the great line from this board, "If I wanted to dress like a woman I'd wear pants." Which flustered him and cracked my boss up...she's a lady and was wearing pants as usual.

I've been kilted at work for over two years, and full time kilted at work for over 15 months...still the comments come...

I'll take the FREEDOM and the comments over no comments and no freedom.

Amen to that; I'd rather have the freedom and confidence to answer any hecklers [though I haven't encountered any myself] that come along than to be stuck in trousers without heckles.

Perhaps the closest I have come to any jape in regard to my being kilted was a comment from a co-worker to my girlfriend, who replied that she wears the pants in the relationship. I responded with, "Of course; pants are for women. Men wear kilts." Other than that, I've never received any truly negative reactions.
