my wife, god love her, had someone come up and ask HER, while i was standing there, "why is he wearing a kilt?" deadpan my wife replied< " don't you know that your groceries are 1/2 price if you are wearing a kilt?"
i think i pulled something not laughing as the woman almost ran out of the store!

Thats an awesome answer. That'll kepp her mouth shut next time she sees a kilted man, or she won't ask stupid questions.

I'm going to have to remember that. Simply a great answer.

These are all great posts. Although I know you don't need a reason to wear the kilt other than "I woke up this morning", some people are reluctant to wear a kilt without a reason to do so. These dates will hopefully provide an excuse for these folks. They will also provide an answer for "Why are you wearing a kilt?" And with this information, a conversation could be started where both parties learn a little something.

Excellent point, Dave. It's in keeping with the local mantra, "know your tartan".

When I worked for the park service, we were always reminded that when we were in uniform (the good ol' grey & greens) that we were ambassadors for the NPS, and that an interpretation ranger (one that talks to folks and presents programs, etc.) is always on duty, since folks ask questions anywhere & anytime.

I think that as "ambassadors" for kilts and the wearing of said garments, the kilted calendar is a good conversation starter.

Cheers,
