My brother Turpin wears his kilt to work daily at the EPA. IIRC he started off wearing it on St. Andrew's Day, and shortly began to wear it daily. I suspect it might be considered discriminatory to ban wearing the kilt when women are allowed to wear skirts.

It probably helps that we have a HUGE Celt community here and a really big, well advertised highland games.......

I have been complimented many times for having the b@lls to wear the kilt on the T.

A couple of weeks ago a gangbanger complimented me on my kilt and asked me if I'm Rowdy Roddy Piper's dad (I'm only two years older than he is). I suspect that the fact that a number of pro wrestlers wear a kilt has made more people aware of it as a male garment.

I work at an ethnic non-profit and have worn the kilt to work a few times.
First reaction was, "A kilt! Just like in Hong Kong!" (Hong Kong of course was a British possession up until 1997). And the kids, once I explained that it was a garment that honored my ethnic heritage, were very cool about it.
