Kilting in Church - Sgian dubh?

[OC Richard]

There were people there in Indian formal wear, African, Mexican, etc, and it was a lovely multicultural function.

Interesting. Are you saying that people were dressed in Indian, African, and Mexican folk costume? In that case a kilt would fit in nicely.

The church I go to is also multicultural: people of European descent are in the minority and there are large proportions of Latinos, Philipinos, Vietnamese, and so forth. (The only time anything said or sung is understood by everyone is when it's in Latin, as a large proportion speak no English.)

But except for the occasional woman in a Sari, everyone is dressed in ordinary clothing, and a kilt would draw attention to the wearer.
