This has been so much easier than I thought.
I have had a lot of questions about tartan, how the kilt is made, what that "bag" was hanging from my belt, and so on, but it has all been very respectful, and encouraging. Lots of folks are just fascinated by the fact that I have made it myself and just ooh and ahh at the pleats.
No one has asked me "the question".
There was one lady who had to take my picture, so if she sends them to me I'll post it.

I am very encouraged! I will be wearing a kilt a lot more from now on.
One more hurtle for today, and that is that the wife called me up and asked me to stop at Walmart on the way home. I think that'll be fun too

I've got to say though, that I would never have considered it, if it wasn't for the support of the people on this site. Thanks lads (and lasses)!
