    I can assure you that in Denmark kilts are rare, too. We don’t even have highland games and the like.

    When I wear a kilt, which I do on an almost daily basis, I will get some double takes, but very few and I will get into more conversations than when wearing pants, but apart from that, wearing a kilt is a complete non-event.

    A couple of months ago I visited the Photokina exhibition in Cologne anmd for three days I would only wear kilts. I never received as many compliments as when in tartan kilts in Cologne and Dusseldorf.

    When one of the days I was wearing a Utilikilt Original I received a few negative remarks.

    Hey, Greg:

    Yep, tradtional kilts are more recognizable for sure. But... modern kilts for everyday wear? Not so much. Everyone expects a tartan and most are a bit confused by a dude in a pleated skirt with a lot of brass accents.

    Kind of feel that we have to take the modern kilt to the next level.

    I for my part could very well imagine a modern kilt without all the metal things. So yes, there might be a market for a "next level" modern kilt.
