It may sound weird but I've been wearing kilts with increasing regularity over the past year and I've never been asked "the question". Oh, I've had lots of people ask me if I play the pipes, and more than a few ask me if it was some sort of special day (any day is special when you wear a kilt) but I've never had anyone ask me "the" question. Until yesterday that is.

It was a fine looking lass who wanted to know more about my art, and when the converstation took a turn to kilts, she flat out just asked.

Kind of floored me because I wasn't expecting it, but I wasn't offended. I just told her that it's best if we maintain the mystery
I did explain the traditional way to wear it though and she will just have to wonder
