    I don't wear UKs, But I do wear BKs as well as wool kilts. I am over here in between AJ and east Mesa, and most of the check out people at the stores and just people in general say something like "Nice Kilt" or something. I know there are other BK kakhi wearers out here because people tell me that they see them from time to time at the Homedepot and Lowes. I do get asked if I'm Scottish a lot, but that's OK... I guess I kind of am through the family past. It's very nice to have someone tell you that you look good in a kilt while standing in the grocery line or something.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    I actually live in Queen Creek but do most of my shopping in Gilbert because Queen Creek is too new to have many stores.

    I get asked ALL THE TIME if I am Scottish. I was in a checkout line at Target and the lady checker asked, "Is that a kilt?" I answered, "Yes, but I'm not Scottish." She gave me a blank look and said, "I didn't think you needed to be Scottish, I thought guys just wore them because they were comfortable."

    BLESS HER HEART!

    Bear Kilts? or Buzz Kidder's? I seem to recall that you've mentioned the latter once. If that's the case, you might try something like BzK, since BK is already taken.

    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.
