OK, you asked for experiences. I recently attended a wedding- last weekend, as a matter of fact- where I was the only one kilted. I wore an understated tartan (Albanach from USA Kilts in particular), a black waistcoat, red tie, white shirt, navy blue hose, and nice shoes. I was the only one kilted. I got a bit of positive feedback, and one person asked me why I wore it, to which I responded truthfully that all of my 2 pairs of pants are ratty cargo jeans, and I didn't feel those as appropriate. It was obviously a satisfactory answer as the inquirer said that I looked great and made a good choice. Other than two or three offhand "You look fantastic!" kinds of comments, it was a total non-event/non-issue. The mother of the groom, whom I had never met before, loved it. Otherwise no one seemed at all interested. It was the couple's special night, and it remained that way regardless of what I was wearing. When you're surrounded by 150 people who are all at a place for one sole purpose, you tend to blend and become white noise regardless of what you're wearing. There was one fellow who showed up wearing jeans, cowboy boots and one of those tacky tuxedo print t shirts. He was asked to leave. So it seems to me that as long as you're not doing anything inappropriate or offensive, no one gets concerned.

Cutting right to the heart of the matter...
