Kilt sightings
Here in Baltimore I have sighted kilts only on two separate days. Once in an art museum and saw several at a local Pride event. Not alot of guys thinkng outside of the box around here. I wear mine when I am not at work. I have to wear a uniform there so no chance of changing that dress code. I am trying to convince others to go ahead and take the plunge.

Always at the festivals and fairs of various sorts. I was at a mall about a week ago and spotted a gent kilted. Have seen them at the grocery store and even at my local coffee shop, let alone on public transportation.
Most are Utilikilts, but a good number of tartans.
Yes I have talked to them about this lively bunch, but alas, I cannot get them to post.

I know there are a bunch of people in the Portland/Vancouver area that own kilts but rarely wear them. People keep telling me about seeing a couple of other guys wearing kilts in my small town but I never see them. Then again, numerically speaking, the odds aren't really that great of just randomly crossing paths with another of our small minority.

Once another guy in a kilt came into the bar where I work wearing an Amerikilt.
I've seen a few out and about - both traditional and UtiliKilts.
I'm surprised as many people know about UK as do: I get asked all the time at work, "Is that a UtiliKilt?" (I only wear my khaki UK at work, as the dress code is khaki.) But as many people as ask the question, I don't see many around town.

Other than me...I've only seen one other guy wearing a kilt (other than for a special purpose like a wedding, festival, games, etc.) around the Portland, OR area. He was in an urban camo UK and wearing black/white checkered Keds. I hated the look but had to appreciate the moxy.
I wore my Scots American tartan tank out and about in Bend, OR one evening. I had several folks ask me if there was a Scottish festival going on becasue I was the 4th guy they'd seen in a kilt that night. I didn't see the other 3 gents, but apparently there were several other kilted hitting the pubs like me.

There's another kilt-wearing guy in my neighborhood. He hangs out at a coffee shop up the street.
I've seen one other guy in my neighborhood wearing a tartan kilt casually. I was driving by and didn't get a chance to say anything to him. That was about a year ago.
Last month I ran into a young Scotsman at a local mall. He was wearing a Royal Stewart with a casual shirt and shoes. He went into the Starbucks and I did get a chance to talk with him briefly.
I saw another guy in what looked from a distance like a Royal Stewart. He was walking across a parking lot in a mall in San Jose. That was about a year ago.
I've seen a couple of guys in the Castro District of San Francisco wearing Utilikilts. That was three or four years ago.
I saw one other guy on the street in San Jose wearing a UK. That was also about three years ago.
We're around, but just not in large enough numbers to be a common sight.

I see kilted guys that I don't know about once every week or two. Sometimes they're pipers. Sometimes they're casually kilted.

My daughter works a Wal*Mart and has seen a few kilts worn by customers (other than me) in the store. I know there is a guy with a utility kilt around but, but I've not met him. I suspect that there are alot of kilts around... but only worn in a safe environment and on special occasion.
I, on the other hand, get seen by others quite a bit. My daughter overheard a guy in the store refer to me as 'the weirdo in the skirt'. That's OK... Ignorance is bliss.
