    The chances of you being contradicted, at least by this man, are slim to none... and slim just took the first train out of town.

    Without a doubt, the positive comments and glares (and especially double takes) make me a happy kilt wearer. So does the comfort. A nice Hawaiian breeze under the kilt...

    Mac, You won't get any contradiction from me. It's part of the joy of wearing a kilt, and I love talking to people that otherwise would have said nothing. I think it's great when it causes them to reflect on their own heritage.

    No contradiction from me, either! I got interested in kilts because I thought that they looked cool. Then I tried one on and loved the comfort. That said, I certainly haven't turned down the positive comments! (And I'm getting pretty good at ignoring the stares!)

    Or have female friends like me, a number of them chipped in to get me my first kilt!

    Well I'm wearing my new Black Watch while I chaperone my high school prom tomorrow night. Borrowed a PC from a co-worker so I'll be dressed to the nines. Most of my students know I wear the kilt, but few have seen me in one. I hope to have some good stories for you all on Sunday!

    I'm 36, and still....well, let me see, what is the right word...ummm, well, I think I am still in the.....well, I aint 61. But on a plane to france, the high school girls on their senior trip didnt smile, or ask silly questions, or any of the fun things, they just kinda looked at me odd. Good on you brother for representing.
