Several of my kilts would be judged too long by the kilt police, but it isn't the kilts that are too long, it's my legs that are too short.

Another possible response to a Kilt Kop:
"Thank you for sharing the fruits of your many years of daily kilt-wearing."
Because the Kop personality is unlikely even to recognize irony, much less appreciate it, this response is likely to produce welcome silence.

I like that one.

Yep, putting that one in the file! It's great since 99.5% of the Kilt/Tartan Kops I've encountered are not wearing kilts or tartan.

That goes right up there with the young punk (sorry, it's the only accurate word) with his friends that called me a (derogatory term for male homosexual). Now normally, I do not respond to such, since my orientation is my business, and, and I don't harbor any homophobic tendencies anyway. But with Michele on my arm, I could not resist. "I'm with my beautiful girlfriend, you're with your boyfriend, and I'm the (derogatory term for male homosexual)?

Good one
it's interesting how people will view us in Kilts, as being lesser of a Man. Untill
someone throws a Caber or Weight and then its a whole other stroy.
I teach sunday school at church and My class all knows I wear Kilts .
But never once was anything bad said ,
People just look and turn there heads like a cow stairing at a new Gate.
I just have fun with it.

Here's an idea:
Maybe we need an X Marks Get Out Of Jail Free card, to present to people who are attempting to enforce the kilt statutes.
If you have ever seen a Public Defender's business card, it will frequently quote the Miranda warnings on the back. One side of our card could say that the bearer is entitled to wear his kilt as he pleases, that he has given some thought to it and that he is prepared to disregard the self appointed authority of anyone who wishes to correct him.
On the back:
"The Highland dress is essentially a 'free' dress -- that is to say, a man's taste and circumstances must alone be permitted to decide when and where and how he should wear it... I presume to dictate to no man what he shall eat or drink or wherewithal he shall be clothed."
-- The Hon. Stuart Ruaidri Erskine, The Kilt & How to Wear It, 1901.
