What's the best reaction you've gotten to your wearing a kilt?

A while back in an elevator, a fellow traveller just said "That's awesome", as she got off on her floor.

I don't think she'd have said awesome if she were 80. I could be wrong, but that's my take on it.

Overheard a mother explaining to her 4 year old " oh, because he's Scottish"

At least the mother knew what I was wearing.

I went to Las Vegas, last July and some friends and I went to an Irish Pub, the perfect palce to wear my kilt!!, We took a limo to the NY NY Hotel, we stayed at the Tuscany, which is kind of far from NY NY.

I was very excited about my new sporran, which I just got from USA Kilts, that I didnt wanted to put my wallet inside of it, so I just took my credit card and some money.

We arrived at the entrance of the Irish Pub, and the guy at the front door asked me for my ID (damn, Im 36 years old, in Mexico nobody asks me for my ID to get into a bar!!!), so I told these guy I left it at the Hotel and he told me, you can enter but the waiters will ask you for your ID to take your alcohol order, you can ask for sodas if you want.

Irish Pub in Las Vegas, drinking sodas???? NO WAY!!, so I walked all way down my hotel with one of my friends, the rest stayed at the pub, we were walking down the strip, and a guy passing by told me, hey! nice kilt!, I was very angry with my self so I just answered him with a simple "Thanks", then a group of 6 or 7 drunken girls, were at the strip and started to shout a lot of things, all of them good stuff. (nice legs, nice tattoos, love your kilt, where are you from, etc, etc) by that time I wasnt that mad at me.

Finally we arrived at the hotel, grabbed my passport, and took a cab to the NY NY.....again (this time was a cab, not a limo)

When I approached to the entrance, the guy told me. Hey mi amigo kilted!!! show me your ID and come in!!!

Inside the pub a big guy told me "Nice kilt buddy, I was talking with my friend here and I want you to tell me something, I have a Kilt on my own, and I wanted my friend to get into it also, tell me, Is it true that the girls drives crazy when you wear a kilt? " I laughed, and start to tell them these story.

His friend told us he will buy a Kilt asap.

Cheers mates!

It definitely grabs my attention. But only if its a real kilt and the man knows how to wear it! I saw a guy in a calf-length plaid skirt that he definitely jacked from his grandmothers closet and he was trying to pass it off as a kilt. Sorry dude. Not fooling THIS girl! It got my attention but for alllllll the wrong reasons.

Hahaha, Actually I know a guy with the same kind of "kilt", he bought his in a store in LA, but that "kilt" was in the women's section and has no apron. Its kind of weird.

Ok may be not all girls, thats the reason I suscribed this page, to know how to wear it properly, but i never had three reactions like that on the same night

Then its not a kilt. lol. Not even a "kilt."

You will probably get more reactions as time goes on

Enjoy. I dont get any, as I'm a woman. People just assume im wearing a plaid skirt.

But one day I WAS wearing just a plaid skirt and a friend goes "Meghan! You look so Scottish today!" and I was like "thanks! too bad you couldnt say that when I was actually wearing a tartan skirt."

no such thing as a bad kilt. Only a Kilt badly worn. For Omars friend he could wear a good one backwards LOL

I was at a dedication ceremony for the Highway of Heroes last weekend (the New Brunswick portion of the Trans Canada Highway has been designated the Highway of Heroes in remembrance of those who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom) and a young lad came up to me, pointed at my sporran and asked what it was called. When I explained the name and purpose he suggested that it should really be called a "Murse". I chuckled, as did his dad, an army Warrant Officer.
