Ghostlight,
Wearing a kilt is sociological research!
I have made the above observations over the last several years. At one time I was keeping a chart going by the comments and the commenter. The above is kind of a summary. Things evolve.. Recently several teen Sub Saharan ancestored males have stopped me to ask about the kilt and its history. I have been given many thumbs up from the teens with the low hanging trousers. All this very very recently.
