What's the best reaction you've gotten to your wearing a kilt?

[Màrtainn]

Last week I was in Edinburgh for a couple of days. One of my goals was to find a nice (second hand) kilt jacket, so of course I went kilted that shopping day. I was trying on jackets in one of theArmstrong & Son shops (which I recommend if you want to find some vintage clothing), when I suddenly heard a girl in her twenties say to her boyfriend, while gesturing in my direction: "How could anyone NOT like a kilt?"
A little later I noticed them perusing the kilt rack… :-)

A while back in an elevator, a fellow traveller just said "That's awesome", as she got off on her floor.

Overheard a mother explaining to her 4 year old " oh, because he's Scottish"


At least the mother knew what I was wearing.

I went to Las Vegas, last July and some friends and I went to an Irish Pub, the perfect palce to wear my kilt!!, We took a limo to the NY NY Hotel, we stayed at the Tuscany, which is kind of far from NY NY.

I was very excited about my new sporran, which I just got from USA Kilts, that I didnt wanted to put my wallet inside of it, so I just took my credit card and some money.

We arrived at the entrance of the Irish Pub, and the guy at the front door asked me for my ID (damn, Im 36 years old, in Mexico nobody asks me for my ID to get into a bar!!!), so I told these guy I left it at the Hotel and he told me, you can enter but the waiters will ask you for your ID to take your alcohol order, you can ask for sodas if you want.

Irish Pub in Las Vegas, drinking sodas???? NO WAY!!, so I walked all way down my hotel with one of my friends, the rest stayed at the pub, we were walking down the strip, and a guy passing by told me, hey! nice kilt!, I was very angry with my self so I just answered him with a simple "Thanks", then a group of 6 or 7 drunken girls, were at the strip and started to shout a lot of things, all of them good stuff. (nice legs, nice tattoos, love your kilt, where are you from, etc, etc) by that time I wasnt that mad at me.

Finally we arrived at the hotel, grabbed my passport, and took a cab to the NY NY.....again (this time was a cab, not a limo)

When I approached to the entrance, the guy told me. Hey mi amigo kilted!!! show me your ID and come in!!!

Inside the pub a big guy told me "Nice kilt buddy, I was talking with my friend here and I want you to tell me something, I have a Kilt on my own, and I wanted my friend to get into it also, tell me, Is it true that the girls drives crazy when you wear a kilt? " I laughed, and start to tell them these story.

His friend told us he will buy a Kilt asap.

Cheers mates!

Don't know if it's the best I've ever had, but the most recent was while we were traveling today and stopped at a fast food restaurant for lunch. As my wife and I were nearing the door to go in, a young lady came running across the parking lot, leaving her male friend standing at their car, she gushed, "What bravery and awesomeness to wear a kilt out in public." Her excitement really took me by surprise and I was left nearly speechless.

She didn't follow us to the order counter, and I didn't see her again while we were there. One of those out-of-the blue unexpected encounters. Such is the power of the kilt.

I was having a pint with some friends last night and got a number of compliments on my kilt and a "wolf whistle" from a lass half my age which is always good for an old guy's ego. But there was also the somewhat intoxicated 20-something guy who tossed out the "nice skirt" comment. I thanked him and mentioned how nice it was that he and his girlfriend were wearing matching outfits (both dressed in shorts and polo shirts). He seemed to take a bit of offense to that and got a little loud asking "the question" and acting like he was a comedic genius for coming up with it. I decided to ignore him and instead just asked his girl (loud enough for everyone to hear) "Does he always show so much unhealthy interest in other men's underwear?" Everyone laughed, he got red in the face and his girl just laughed and pulled him away saying to him "Just shut up, you SO deserved that!"
