As we are leaving churck after service, I am often approached by one or more of the men who say that they wish they had worn their kilt and how good I look in mine.
It would be nice to see more kilties at church, as for now, I'm the only one.
It's always nice to get nice compliments, isn't it? Keep on looking good for church. 
I've just started going back to church after an 18 month hiatus. But I'm attending a new church, so I didn't wear my kilt the first time I went (which was this past Sunday). But, if a guy in his early 40s can wear a bright lime green zoot suit with matching converse shoes to church, I think they'd be fine with a kilt wearer.

What nice young lady. A compliment always makes the day seem brighter.

Oh, have we met?
Just kidding! I wish I could wear a kilt to Church. Well, I certainly could, but no one would see it, as it'd have to be under a cassock. Hmmm... a kilt and a cassock... both are unbifurbicated...

The very first time I wore a kilt to church, I was sing in the choir. It was very comfortable under the heavy choir robe. And raised a lot of eyebrows during the recessional.

It's quite comfortable. Much cooler than trousers on those occasions when the building is warm.
I find myself being a little more purposeful about pleat-sweeping when I sit, otherwise no problems.

Let me get this straight: you remove your vestments for the closing procession? Or you wear a short robe?

Long robe, but you can see the socks with no pant legs showing. The robe I used was for a person shorter than me. So the hem probably was 10 inches off the floor.
