For me, each man just needs to wear what kilts he's comfortable with and enjoys. The more we wear kilts, the more the public will get used to them.

The more we treat people with respect who ask questions and hand out cards from kiltmakers, the more at ease the general public will be with kilted men.

I wear some kilts to work, some to formal gatherings, others out hiking and on the river, some to just knock around town and do chores in.

Since I live in a small town and, so far, am the only kilted one about folks get to see me in the variety of kilts that I wear. I think that helps them understand that I choose to wear kilts.

But the old line, "What you think of me is none of my business" applies. I wear kilts because I love wearing kilts. I wear kilts for me.

Other's are welcome to wear what they want.

I'm not adverse to doing some "marketing." Went on a kilted trip this weekend. A massage therapist friend took interest in the freedom. Gave him a kiltmaker's card. Was at the supermarket in Phoenix and a guy in the checkout line took an interest, gave him a kiltmaker's card. Was at a gift shop in Black Canyon City and an old RV driver guy took an interest. Explained how comfortable kilts were to drive long distances in and gave him a kiltmaker's card. Each may choose to try a kilt, then their circle of friends gets interested...and the acceptance of kilts grows a bit more.
