    Casey I voted "Sometimes". Friends and family will "attempt" to do a kilt check 'cuz they know that I'll react to it and everybody gets a laugh out of it. Others-complete strangers-find out pretty quick how painful a properly applied come-along is when applied to the wrist or elbow. Last spring at a Highland festival I felt my kilt being lifted and since my hands were full the dude got to feel the outside edge of my leather soled wingtips as it slide down his shin bone before coming to a hard stop on top of his instep. When I turned to give this guy a Scotch Blessing, he appoliged saying that from the back I looked like a friend of his. My wife asked him "How many of your friends are here wearing a tan shirt and a kilt in a Cameron tartan?" I really ticked me off was the guy was kilted hisownself. On a side note-kilt hose don't provide much protection against a shin slide.

    You don't have to be Scottish to be comfortable!
