Hopefully we in this area can capitalize on this state's history and make kilts to be as popular as they are in Seattle for example.

I'm sure the attitude of most people there is that, Yes there were a lot of people of Scottish ancestry that settled in NC, but nobody wears the kilt anymore except pipers in bands or people at Scottish festivals. "Normal" people just don't wear a kilt for everyday clothes.:rolleyes:
