Not quite the same experience, George, but on one of my walks in the park, I met a man approaching me from the other direction and heard him say to himself "perfect color coordination" as we passed each other. I was wearing a Stillwater wool heavyweight in the Weathered Lamont tartan, dark brown shirt, brown belt, brown, sporran, brown shoes, oatmeal hose, and saffron flashes. The saffron flashes actually match up quite well with one of the shades of brown in the kilt.

I've worn that same color combination in various stores and heard the word "kilt" from further down the aisle, and I'm getting hard of hearing .
