However the same night a few people were asking where I got it from (arctic camo kilt from kiltstore) and apparently I have nice legs

I have gotten that comment several times myself, and I'm usually wearing hose, except in hot weather.

I heard that it was the first comment one elderly lady made to other people at a church conference I attended kilted.
