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

A double-take!

One of the more enjoyable ones, at least for me, was when we were in our local Scottish shop snooping around, and a woman came in with her husband. She was clearly trying to get him interested in a kilt and he kept shaking his head, chuckling, etc. She came to the mannequin in full PC and was trying to show him the fur sporran, explaining how good he would look with it. I was around a rack and he hadn't yet seen me. He asked her incredulously what in the world he would put in it. That's when I walked up to him and said, opening my sporran, "well, I keep my phone, keys, wallet, smoke case, things like that in it.. Kilts don't have pockets, you know". He's looking at me like must work in the store when my son walks up next to me in his usual getup and blue deer sporran.

He then starting asking a lot of standard questions (where do you where it, are they comfortable, etc) and after a while finally understood. When we left he was actually paying attention to his wife and holding kilts up to himself in the mirror. I hope she got him turned

A double-take!

I'm pretty sure it wasn't just the kilt that drew that response
