Well, I'm sorry that it didn't work out in your favour Hermann, but at least things aren't getting nasty.

I know how it is. I'm here in Germany too (down south which is a rather conservative part of the country) and a lot of people seem disgusted when they see me wearing a kilt - usually just the men, now that I think of it. Someone else mentioned it above that the insecure and uneducated are usually those who have a problem.

I'm lucky I guess at work. I wear mine whenever I want. Cus I'm not German, I just pass it off as my heritage, or that it's standard back home (Canada) for guys to wear kilts. And I'm working as a graphic designer so I guess it's okay for me to [s]stick out a bit[/s] to dress a bit differently. But when I'm out elsewhere I usually get deriding looks and comments.

Not that I let it bother me though. To heck with 'em and their insecurity.
