I went to high school in the late 80's early 90', I wore cowboy boots and a hat to school every day, wore jeans to my senior prom (with a cowboy hat, matching boots) it obviously didn't bother me much to draw attention to myself. I wore a red jacket to my wedding (see aviar). I had a speech impediment when I was young, so I used to draw attention to what I was wearing hoping people wouldn't notice how I talked. I guess that has stuck with me to this day. The nice thing about the kilt is that people come up to talk to you about it.

So if HoseHead had gotten me into them sooner I would have worn them then as well. Kilts are much more comfortable than the jeans I wore back then.
