Kilted at the Mall of America, Minnesota

Went out to the Mall yesterday. Wore my Black Stewart 8 yd. Shortly after I arrived, I had one gentleman ask me if I was a piper. He wanted to know where we were playing. I had to dissapoint him and tell him, that no, I did not play the pipes.

At one of the other stores, the clerk wanted to know where I was from. He said he was wondering because I looked Scottish.

I could see others, especially the ladies, look and smile, and now and then you could hear the start of a comment they were making to their friend.

And yes, I matched my hose to my shirt this time.

Sounds similar to my trip to Italy this year when I went through the San Lorenzo leather market in Florence in my UK Mocker...I got asked over and over where in Scotland I was from, if my family was from Scotland, if it was an Irish kilt (after I professed to being part Irish -- along with a mix of other nationalities), why an American would be wearing a kilt if he wasn't Scottish...they all liked it but they found it to be VERY confusing.

Something about wearing a Kilt at a Mall is so much fun!

Good for you Tom!
