Very true that there seems to be more kilts about town. Unfortunately for these parts (Dayton, Ohio), that means spotting one "in the wild" maybe just once every two or three weeks. There were definitely lots of kilts last weekend at the Dayton Celtic Festival, but I would categorize many of them as being in costume for the event, regardless of the kilt they were wearing -- traditional, semi-trad, contemporary, etc. Hopefully, some of those kilted for just the weekend get over their view of the kilt as costume, realize how comfortable the kilt is, overcome whatever fears they have, and go kilted at least once a month.
