Todd's comments are very near to my own point of view about Xmarks...it exist as a sort of kilt-advocacy group and care has to be taken to keep it sort of "neutral" in the kilt hierarchy. It would be unfair to advocate or to even seem to advocate one style of kilt or any particular kiltmakers...the idea is to promote the everyday wearing of the kilt in situations, as it says, other than highland games or celtic fests or whatever. As much fun as it is to spread the word about Xmarks and kiltwearing it's obvious that one would have to tread lightly and respect some of the other organizations' "turf".

I always favor the "soft sell" approach. Buttons or bumper stickers that get them to ask or to look up the URL. I think that you'd be preaching to the choir at highland games...if there's anyone there who DOESN'T own a kilt when they arrive, they'll be seriously thinking about getting one by the time they leave...not to mention the opportunity to make arrangements with one of the vendors present to either buy a ready made on the spot or place an order. The trick is to get those marginally interested or those who aren't quite sure that they can carry it off to come to this forum and get some info and support....not to mention that you guys are some of the funniest and most literate people posting on the web. That's what Xmarks does well...act as a support group.

Best
