Greetings and Salutations dear Oliver.
I too was a little nervous at first but, it passes. Like most of the gents here will tell you, you don't get anywhere near the hassle from people you would expect.
You will draw a little attention though,especially anywhere outside an official Scottish/Celtic event. I personally like the attention and as of thus far it's all been pretty positive or at least neutral. Now I have only had my kilt for about a week now so I guess only time will tell if this will continue.
Enjoy and start now saving now for your second one, just like potatoe chips, you can never have just one.

thanx...Ded N. Buried
