Except for growing up in a family that was kilted I have yet to see anybody else on the street wearing a kilt, other than me or at Celtic events....I have never had a hostile encounter...a few jokes but no hostility......I'm going with the concensus here and say I wear a kilt and don't really care what anyone thinks, my family (what's left of them) loves it, and why is a kilt a big deal....people wear srongs (pacific islanders) turbans (middle eastern) daschikis (african) and nobody gives it a second look.....but they all notice a kilt and do you know why???? because KILTS ROCK!!!!!
