I'll tell ya'...hearing some of those overheard insults that you experienced makes me think that I've been insulted so many times in my own life even before I took to the kilt that I'm like an old prize fighter and I hardly even feel the punches anymore. Good on ya for not letting the barstards get ya down. Don't ever let it happen. I went to an event this past Friday and someone actually asked me why I showed up in "costume". I went all chilly cold and very patiently explained that it wasn't "costume" but rather a form of dress that I feel is both appropriate and comfortable. Suddenly Mr. Cocky got all conciliatory...thus is the power of the kilt.

And my best to those fellas who posted the photos of their Lodge activities...they look great. Not a member myself but their dress does bestow a certain dignity to their proceedings.

Best
