Re: Advice needed!
It would sure be easy to start a conversation by "asking if he had web access and had ever visited www.XMTS? "
"The rabble there are very welcoming and informative and can help explain that many persons accidentally wear their kilt with the pleats in the front, etc."
Just a thought...and don't have to feel like you are the dreaded 'kilt police'.

This actually had occurred to me. I thought i could start by asking him where he bought his kilt, introduce him to Xmarks, and then after establishing a rapport with him float the part about wearing one's pleats to rear being the accepted methodology.
It's great advice to be remembered for next time. Thx!

Re: Advice needed!
well honestly, if he has all of those other things and knows how to wear them, its REALLY possible that he wore it backwards on purpose. I dont know how else it would make sense. Kind of a strange thing to do but I cant imagine him just NOT knowing, especially if he had the other accessories and knew how to properly wear those.

Right? I mean he even wore a waistcoat and no belt, which isn't a rule I follow but I know a lot of kilters around here subscribe to that method. I wish I could have taken a picture of him. The guy just had a look about him that screamed respect and reverence. He just seemed like a nice guy, which made me feel even worse for him.
Despite the evidence, I find it very difficult to believe that anyone who knows better would ever wear the kilt backwards.
