Oh, and one more don't- DON'T wear a kilt if you don't know what tartan is! And no I didn't type that wrong. I saw a guy wearing one of those unpleated kilts, and I really liked the tartan. I asked him what "Tartan is that?" He answered "8 yards."

So, in other words, this guy got the concept of "eight yards" but failed to grasp the concept of it having to be pleated? Egads!
This is where your Xmarks kilt-advocate good guy nature should have kicked in and you could have directed the unfortunate fella to one or more websites, including videos on Youtube, where he could have, "...gotten some tips on how to make the outfit more authentic..." or "...gotten some pointers on how to wear it so that it's more comfortable...". All of which goes to saying in a nice way that ya dinna hae ta walk aroond lookin' like sumat tha jist felloota a laundry hamper.

The conversation continued with me asking "So first time in a kilt?" He said "How could you tell?!?!" And I did just what you suggested.

After seeing these pictures (took me about four days to go though it all) I'm really glad that I did a good bit of research before I ever decided to buy and wear a kilt.
I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear
