    Ya, sure!

    I get the sniggles from onlookers from time to time, including when I was in a Q'Doba (regional chain of semi-Mexican fast food joints), wearing a black UK Original, and saw two college-aged guys looking pointedly at me and tittering amongst themselves. I ignored them after that, until the woman in front of me in line asked why they were being such feckwits--she liked my kilt.

    So did the woman at the cash register.

    In fact, of those who have commented to me, most have been appreciative. The negative comments have universally come from the immature, usually either college-aged or younger (or of similar inebriation to the stereotypical frat rat).

    After reading so many comments on comments, I am sometimes surprised at the fairly low rate of discussion. Perhaps folks around here are more cosmopolitan than I give them credit for being.

    I wear mine all the time to Q'Doba people just love it!

    Granted some people are jerks, and even if you weren't Kilted they may find fault with you for something else.
