Broke the Ice

The first time is always the hardest. I think it's fair to say that Joe Public knows exactly what a kilt is. Tartan or solid color, pockets or no pockets, it's all the same to many people and they know it's a kilt. I'm really glad to hear it went well for you, and I think you'll become comfortable with it pretty quickly. As you get out and about in public more often, prepare yourself for the inevitable but almost always positive encounters with random strangers. Dudes will give you props for having more stones than them, because they've always wanted to wear a kilt but are too chicken. Women will tell you it's hot, and say they wish their husbands would wear one. Drunk bridesmaids will fall all over you at weddings and strangers will buy you drinks at the bar. The power of the kilt is great, my friend.
