This issue comes up a lot. Wearing a kilt in public comes with some social issues, and a hefty dose of reality needs to be a part of our conversation. It does no good to encourage people to wear kilts everywhere, for any reason, and in any style, without understanding all these social issues. If all we have to say is, "yeah, go for it mate!" then we aren't having honest conversations. Will it dissuade some people from wearing the kilt as they planned? Perhaps. It's up to them, in the end.
Tobus, this is really what it all boils down to. If I can add to that.

This is a forum on cloths. It is not a religion. If someone has a kilt in their closet, they don't have to wear it. It's not the job of this forum to 'force' people into wearing it, lest they be considered an apostate. This is like the award show thread. Why do some seem to get so worked up about who is wearing or not wearing a kilt and where or where not.

This board is a great place to learn all the in and outs of the Scottish National Dress, and for those that care not of such things, then the kilt and all associated things, such as sporrans etc.

I am at a loss as to why some appear to take it personalty that some kilt owners do not wear it as often as them, or to the same types of places or durning the same activities.

Does anyone remember that old SNL (Saturday Night Live) skit with William Shatner? The one where he's playing at being at a sci-fi convention... remember how it ended? I'm doing that right now.
