I live in the city of Harrisburg, so it is mostly in the city

Just part of kilting.

Yesterday I'm in my bosses office and we're interupted by the big boss who makes a comment about dresses. I just told him the great line from this board, "If I wanted to dress like a woman I'd wear pants." Which flustered him and cracked my boss up...she's a lady and was wearing pants as usual.

I've been kilted at work for over two years, and full time kilted at work for over 15 months...still the comments come...

I'll take the FREEDOM and the comments over no comments and no freedom.

Amen to that; I'd rather have the freedom and confidence to answer any hecklers [though I haven't encountered any myself] that come along than to be stuck in trousers without heckles.

Perhaps the closest I have come to any jape in regard to my being kilted was a comment from a co-worker to my girlfriend, who replied that she wears the pants in the relationship. I responded with, "Of course; pants are for women. Men wear kilts." Other than that, I've never received any truly negative reactions.

I was out in Gettysburg this past weekend in a kilt. didn't get many looks either way. A few positive comments, but that's about it.

I agree with Keith... Once you wear it on a pretty regular basis, you stop thinking about it and being "conscious of the fact" that you're in a kilt. You really DO get used to it and forget (or not notice) that people are looking at you.

I have to agree with that. A couple of months after I started wearing a kilt to work, it occurred to me one day that I was wearing a kilt and hadn't given it a thought for the last 3 or 4 hours.

Life isn't about wearing a kilt, it's about all the things you do while wearing one.

Walk tall, walk with respect, and be confident and you are a true Kilt wearer.
