Surprising comment

[WBurns]

Today my daughter (22 mo. old) and I went out to lunch. Afterwards I was putting her in her car seat when a fellow driving by stopped and asked where I was from? (I was wearing a SWK Heavyweight box-pleated BW, Wyvern leatherworks sporran, a rescue belt, and a navy blue t-shirt with flip-flops.) I told him I was from Charlotte. In a deep Scottish accent he said he was from Scotland. He said "I like the look." I politely told him thank you and he drove off. It was neat to hear that from someone who is Scottish.
Just thought the rabble would like to know.

See??? Even some dyed-in-the-wool Scots approve of flip flops. That's cool...

Thank goodness it wasn't the kilt police! Sounds like a great experience.

Hold on, I'm not so sure that was a compliment. I have heard that this is a way of Scottish humor. For example, "those cream hose and flat cap there are looking good."

I got one of these at the Woodland, CA Games. A guy walked up to me and said, "That's a nice flat cap. A lot people wouldn't wear that with a kilt."

I replied with something like, "At 6'1" and 275, I don't get too many people telling me I shouldn't."

He promptly left.

Perfect response. I'm 6'2" and 202 and not too many people give me much kilted fashion advice. Besides, I happen to think the flat cap looks great with a kilt. And at the risk of insulting some of the traditionalists here, I would much rather don a flat cap than some of the more traditional headwear. Maybe it's because my head is a smaller size or something, but I could never find anything but flat caps and ball caps that properly fit my head....

I would take his word at face value. What's not to like about it?

That's a neat experience!

[tulloch]

I like flat caps!

I've had a very similar experience, when I graduated from college a Scot told me he liked my outfit.
