    Ron,

    Didn't you get the numbers backwards??? You are 16 and wear fossil shirts right?

    Good tale!

    hopefully some of these high school boys will get a clue and realize that the girls really like a kilt-wearing man and will take to it themselves and a whole new generation of kilters will begin......

    I got a right friendly, "Hey you" from a 40-something-years young grandma of a co-worker today, when she saw me walking 'round a' kilted up. It certainly gave my spirits a lift.

    Gentlemen (and ladies, too), I think I run small risk of contradiction when I state that many of us take the positive comments, smiles and polite questions as being amongst the "perks" of kilt-wearing. Ay, the comfort is grand, but the attention is frosting on the cake.

    The chances of you being contradicted, at least by this man, are slim to none... and slim just took the first train out of town.

    Without a doubt, the positive comments and glares (and especially double takes) make me a happy kilt wearer. So does the comfort. A nice Hawaiian breeze under the kilt...

    Mac, You won't get any contradiction from me. It's part of the joy of wearing a kilt, and I love talking to people that otherwise would have said nothing. I think it's great when it causes them to reflect on their own heritage.

    No contradiction from me, either! I got interested in kilts because I thought that they looked cool. Then I tried one on and loved the comfort. That said, I certainly haven't turned down the positive comments! (And I'm getting pretty good at ignoring the stares!)

    Well I'm wearing my new Black Watch while I chaperone my high school prom tomorrow night. Borrowed a PC from a co-worker so I'll be dressed to the nines. Most of my students know I wear the kilt, but few have seen me in one. I hope to have some good stories for you all on Sunday!

    The high school girls here who like my kilts for the most part are the ones who are the outcasts, the goth's, punks, emo, etc. Conformity here is a very big deal and I stand out so much that many are wary of me, I'm weird.
