I heard what has to be the most amusing thing I have heard directed towards my kilt. I was out at Sherwood Forest Faire near Austin, TX, this past weekend. Upon leaving the Faire to retire to my camp, a woman whose path I crossed called out to me, "You're too young to be wearing a kilt!"

For some reason this woman was resolute that a man had to be 18 to wear a kilt, like it was some kind of right of passage.
So I'm assuming you stopped and talked to her for a bit about it? If so, did you straighten her out on your age and such? I'm curious what became of this conversation, if there was one.

I could probably understand from a woman's perspective that if they are looking for kilted men as "eye candy" (a lot of them do!), they would have some personal opinion as to what's "too young" to look good in a kilt. But that's certainly no reason to yell it at people. If she was mistaken about the kilt as being some sort of 'rite of passage' to adulthood, she needs to be disabused of it.

So what transpired?
