Well, I've been going to sci-fi/ fantasy conventions, as well as ren faires, for a number of years, and quite a few people wear them at both places. (T'Challa, based upon your avatar and screen name, I'm betting you've been to a con or two yourself.) I also have Scottish (among other things) in my heritage, so there's a connection to that, as well. It took me awhile to pluck up to courage (and money) to get one, but I've been doing it for about 2 years now and love it. I got my second kilt a little over a month ago, and I look for almost any reason to wear a kilt somewhere, though with my work schedule, it doesn't happen as often as I'd like. I'd be lying if I told you I didn't like the attention it gets, and most of it positive.
