I've never noticed any other kilted men in my area of Connecticut (besides at certain festivals/conventions/events). So hopefully I won't have too much trouble with some of the close-minded/rednecks around here!
Those good ol boys might just surprise you and accept the kilt just fine.

Nah, doesn't bother me a bit. I keep telling folks there's bubbas everywhere. It's been my nickname for alot of years.
A little late for the weekend so I couldn't show off at the car show Sunday. But I'm so glad it came. I'll definetly be wearing this at the General Geek Convention (tm) I go to volunteer at every year. Well heres the pics...
I was suprised to find the packaging so simple, was expecting a box more like this (which came the same day for my cell phone card)....
just for shits & giggles, heres all that came in that box
What a waste of cardboard!
Neatly folded and unharmed!
got that fresh kilt smell
The Darn Sun was to my back so they didn't come out the best. But the only one I got facing the other way came out badly.
Those were taken after I went around town on some errands. Most people either didn't notice or just didn't say anything. Only my bank teller (whom I used to work with) asked me what it was and why I was wearing it. Then as we were leaving a couple ladies in an SUV were pointing at me, of course I wouldn't have noticed had my mother not said to him "That's my son! He looks good in it!" Oh yeah I almost forgot: One lady at the Ice Cream Shoppe we went to did say she liked it!
Man its a nice feeling garment though. I'm wondering why I've been wearing pants for so long! Now I just need some more. Luckily my mother might help me to start stitching up some so I can save some money.
Quick question: I only had one incident where the wind blew up my kilt a little too much for comfort. Luckily I wasn't going Regimental. Any advice on what to do when that happens?

Just smile and enjoy the breeze! Seriously though, unintentional exposures are part of the whole experience. Just get hold of it and pull it back down and hold it until the breeze calms down. The main thing to remember is just relax and don't be embarrased. You're not trying to moon anyone.

All of us get caught by the stray gust of wind every once in a while. Just recover quickly and act like it was the most natural thing in the world.
