Congratulations!

As a kilt-wearer over here in Akron [Ohio], it is good to see the warm reception that kilts usually get. I'm usually kilted when doing anything in the Akron, Cleveland, Columbus area.

Once in a while I run into a culture gap... and hear the young kids sniggering, but you get used that real quick.

Unless I'm at some sort of "themed" event, I try to wear a tartan kilt over one of the solids. Helps a bunch.

Congrats on your first day kilted. There will be many more good experiences to come!

Top bloke!

My first time was at my dad's funeral, the reason for getting it as I promised him I would. Next up was a trip to Edinburgh, hardly a trial.

After that it was on a gay pride weekend with my wife in Newcastle upon Tyne - needless to say, I was popular with both sexes!

Some of us have it easy, so good on ya for steppin' out!

Sounds like a great day, good for you. I was kilted for years at my last place of employment. It started with a Heritage Night I showed up in a kilt with music, Haggis, Steak Pie and Shortbread. Soon after people were asking when I was wearing the kilt again. Don't be surprised if you get the same type of questions next week.

Great to hear you had a good experience. I live in Delaware OH and have been wearing my kilts a lot this summer, especially after finding Xmarks. I will also be going to the Dublin Irish festival on Saturday. If my new Stillwater Irish national
economy comes in tomorrow I will be wearing it.Otherwise I will probable wear my Stillwater Leatherneck Standard. I will keep an eye out for you and hope to see you.

I work for a college, and have one part of my job (well everyone says its part of my job but isn't in the job description, contract, or advert) that involves dealing with the public. I tried to wear the kilt as a way of getting the administration to say "Get someone else to deal with the public instead of the guy in the skirt." Unfortunately, the kilt was a hit with the public, my department chair, and the dean. Now I get questions when I'm not wearing my kilt. Oh well, more kilting for me! I was told by a few of the other kilt owning faculty that they are going to try to wear their kilts more. I may have started a trend.

Keep kilting (and get pics!)
