that is a great story, thanks for sharing that.
i've not had anything happen to me on that level. i've been wearing kilts full-time now for a month, and prior to that it has been a weekend thing for nearly a year. i am happy to report that i've not had any direct negative comments made. i either get questions, weird looks, neck-breaking double takes, or compliments.
i'm surprised at how many people recognize a Utilikilt when i NEVER see one around town other than the one i am wearing. a few times guys have told me they have kilts... and i just bite my tongue, cause i want to yell "and why are you not wearing it!?!?"... one time a lady in Barnes&Noble started asking me a long series of questions, like she was an anthropologist. i happily answered all of them. one guy in a sports-bar-men's-room declared in a boisterous drunk fashion that i must have big balls. at first thought he was thinking in terms of anatomy, but after a bit i realized he was commenting on my level of self-confidence.
friends and family at times like to follow behind me a few paces out in public just so they can see the various reactions.
i don't really like all the attention, but i do like knowing that i cause people to stop and think.
