That was a great compliment I work at a high school and when I wear a kilt I get both good and bad mostly young boys trying to look tough in front of their pals or students that ask in the middle of class "is it true what they say about men in kilts"then principal will walk past and wait at the door to see wait my next comment is.The staff at the high school seem to like my kilts.
But that sounds like a big feather in your cap.
