That is a beautiful tartan by the way, as far as reactions go I find that I just do not hear the negative as much as I did when I started wearing a kilt on a daily basis. Those that know me have come to expect, and accept it, those I do not know have as of late been kind or silent.
Last night when leaving the theater one woman shouted out "You look wonderful" to which I replied "Thank you I feel Wonderful"

I have however had to suffer the type of interagation that you discribe, it has yet to make me question my choice in clothing.

There are only so many people I can make happy today, therefore I choose to make myself happy.
