    Welcome,

    Hope you cruise this board and see how much more common positive comments are when kilted.

    Two very common Anglo Saxon words come to mind for such rudeness...but its rough when you don't have someone to engage. Don't let him in.

    Think it through. Why should someone elses's opinion effect your choice of garments for the day?

    Another, more polite, response to rude comments - particularly from "friends" is, "Why do you say that?" Puts them on the spot.

    Ungird thy juevos and enjoy the freedom. "Juevos Libre!"

    It's a very sick and sad person who feels the urge to makes rude remarks at strangers yet is so chronically inadequate that he/she needs to hide in the crowd and hope he/she doesn't get caught making the remark. Bear in mind he/she will have made similar stupid loudmouth remarks about quite a few other people at the car show; maybe not about a kilt but about the colour of their shirt; tightness of trousers; style of shoes or whatever. Also very abnormal behaviour as thousands of other people will also have seen you in your kilt and made no remark. Wear a kilt with pride and you stand tall above these weirdos.

    So sad how the need for peer approval manifests itself among inadequate men.

    I would imagine the translation of what the buddied up cretin really meant was - "how come he gets to wear one of those and I can't. It's not fair."

    I can't seriously think he meant - "What ? Freedom to wear what I want ? No siree ? I'm far more happier having a restricted choice - and no mistake..."

    Absolute dork.

    Do your own thing and don't listen to the morons. Thos of us that are kilted are on a different level than those that have just come out of the ooze. I wore mine to a concert last night and a woman wanted me to dance for her. I told her this was a drinking kilt not a dancing kilt and she believed me.. Just before the concert started, the cop at the gate told me I had class. So for every bad comment, you will get 10 good ones, even if you don't hear them. Continue wearing the klt. Its's a good thing.
