Great kilt encounter

**Geniepants** · 5th February 12, 08:23 AM

I was shopping at the Hot Topic at the mall for some t-shirts. After a few minutes, a female employee came over and was literally GIDDY at the fact that there was a dude wearing a kilt in her store. She even high fived me! She told me that the only other time she'd seen a kilt in person was when she was at the tatto parlor and her artist was wearing a kilt. Well, I guess that she asked him "the question" because he lifted it and showed her! I told her not to worry, I don't do that in public.

We talked for a few minutes, I bought some shirts, than I decided I'd let her take care of some other customers. Ah, if only I were single and 10 (maybe 15!) years younger.

Have some fun and walk into a clothing store kilted. When staff asks if the can help you say with all sincerity, "Yes please, where are the men's kilts?"

That is a pretty epic story. I usually get followed by security when I go around malls kilted.

I walked into a mens store this summer & inqured bout kilt hose. From the look I got it was obvious that I should have asked a simpler question like "Whats the meaning of life?". I explained what they were & how high they should be. More confusion from the salesman. "I dont think we have any. We have these (normal socks)." Needless to say I dint get any that day.

But Knotty, when you are talking to the uninitiated, you need to talk their language.
When I walk into an outfitter looking for kilt hose, I ask for long socks.
There is a Scottish outfitter in Cape Town (whom I did not manage to visit when I was down there last month), but I doubt I would find another outfitter in my part of the country who would have any idea what kilt hose is.
