So today I was at Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia for lunch. If you have seen the recent Nicholas Cage movie National Treasure you saw RTM in a foot chase scene when the characters were in Philadelphia. It's basically a very busy market with all types of international foods, and really brings out the international flavor of Philadelphia.

Anyways I am walking along and a woman comes running up to me asking me to stop.

She asks me "Where in Scotland are ye from?" She just assumed I was from Scotland.

I was wearing a USA Kilts Philabeg in Royal Stewart with green kilt hose, no flashes, black shoes, a black Buzz Kidder day sporran and an oatmeal colored sweater. Very casual look.

I told her no I'm not from Scotland I was born and raised right here in Philadelphia and she was really surprised by this. I told her about a little underground of men who have found the kilt to be a wonderful thing to wear for casual use and she was initially dumbfounded by the thought and then I think a little tickled by it. She said in Scotland you only see the kilt anymore at weddings and other formal events. She told me she couldn't wait to call back home and tell her family that the yanks are wearing the kilt more than the scots.
