I don't think we'll have to worry about this. As I go about kilted I get the stares and occasional question/comment, juat like we all do. But in my four days in Edinburgh, Scotland it was almost a certainty that when I passed a group of Asian tourists, the women would stop dead in their tracks, stare, point, and LAUGH. The consistency of this reaction was quite remarkable, and eventually became somewhat amusing to me and my family.
Is this the kind of reaction you got in China, Laotou?? If so, I doubt there will be a growing kilt market in China anytime soon
And back to Martin's original point...I have a bunch of contemporary kilts in my closet, but I never even considered taking one to Scotland. Perhaps that isn't so unusual.
