Accosted for wearing kilt

[tokareva]

I was picking up a pizza at Little Caesar's(pizza chain)and as I was going out the door someone that I would describe as a local hick from the adjoining county aggressively asked me "what's with the get up?". I asked him what he meant...and he loudly replied "it's cold as he** out there and you're wearing a kilt". So even though I didn't feel like I owed him an explanation I then loudly told him that I had put on a pair of pants earlier (he said that was a good idea while I was still talking) but they were freezing my legs ,so I went back in and put my kilt on.I quickly explained the kilt is made of 8 yards of wool and heat rises. With that I walked out the door.

I think his intended to harass me regardless of the temperature, and was surprised that I came back just as aggressive as he was .I was going to wear the pants ,but really felt warmer in the kilt.I don't see why I should feel it necessary to meet someone's else's idea of what is appropriate cold weather attire. It was about 17°F.
I probably should have just said it doesn't feel cold to me and laughed.

Edit:Now that I've had a chance to cool off some... it has become obvious to me he was drinking, so while I was mad before,now it seems kind of funny.I'm almost glad it happened so I can come up with good comeback in case of another encounter like that.
