Since I mostly wear UK's, I can say when people comment, they recognize that I'm wearing a kilt, and that the negative comments have been few and far between. I was out in a busy shopping district in the suburbs this weekend, and one guy on the street actually said "sweet Utilikilt," another just said "nice kilt." It is a pretty sophisticated community though, so your mileage may vary.
Best regards,
Jake

This past summer, I was standing on a subway platform in the heart of Harlem, wearking a UK. A black family (middle-aged couple with an older lady) recognized it and I could hear them commenting how well-tailored it looked and very masculine. The husband later approached me and asked about getting one! Maybe another kiltie? 
So my answer would be that I get the same response to both.

Drop the "i" and you'll be exactly right. Even the capital "L" is correct.

I wear both and so far have gotten only compliments on both.

A fellow once told me that there is an important difference between ignorance and iggernuts. Ignorance is just not knowing; iggernuts is adamantly refusing to learn.

Regarding eternal damnation and kilts...
I'll take my chances on the kilt and spend a lot more time worrying about how I treat other people and what I'm doing to make the world a better place.

Well said Daaaaang, I see your point.
Calling them pathetic was a bit of license to help make my argument. 
I personally don't have a problem with how any young person dresses. I recall wearing combat boots and Clash concert T-shirts in high school. It was cool to some and utterly ridiculous to others. However, I never once thought it was ok to ridicule anyone on their clothing choices that were different than mine.
I don't think kilts will become a passing fad because it's all about substance.

Gee, Thunderbolt, does this mean you were faintly annoyed????
I guess,Christ, Moses, the prophets, Apostles, and St. George & buddies to mention a tiny few should've worn pants (even if not invented yet).
I wonder if Jerry at Stillwater can find a nice Asbestos Thrifty Kilt in my size?
Don'tcha just love judgemental ignoramuses? (or is it 'ignorami?)
What a hoot! :butt:

Ha! Ya'll are killing me...
The problem is with ignorant people, is that they are, well, ignorant. You see, to be uneducated about something is 'ignorant'. I have on many occasions been ignorant about something. When I recognize that I am, I do one of two things. I either (1), choose to learn more about the subject, therefore becoming "un-ignorant", or (2), accept what it is at face value and move on with my life because I just don't care, knowing that even if I did want to learn more, I would probably be worse off because of it.
The problem I have is with what I'll call the ignorant-ignorant. These are the people who are so ignorant, they don't even recognize they are. The ones who open their mouths and spout out their wide-open yaps, usually revealing the current item being masticated and rotting teeth in the process, something that a half-cognizant dunce wouldn't dream of saying. Is that stereotyping? Probably.
Just precisely what ChromeScholar went through in his experience in the "Absolutely bizarre!" thread.
Oh well. I guess I'll just continue to avoid the wal-marts and other ignorant magnets.
Ignormagnets? HA!

Huh, I just noticed something.
ChromeScholar and myself are both in Arizona. I wonder if there is something to that?
