We've got about a half million people in NY's Capital District but I've never seen anyone else wearing a kilt casually around the area. I see plenty at Celtic festivals and events with my fellow Irishmen but those are all special occasion type sitings. My kilts are all tartans and the most popular questions I get are: "What's the special ocassion? or Are you in a pipe band?" I've never seen a Utilikilt or Sportkilt worn around here. It's always tartans when we go out.
