My first outing was to a local pub. It caused only a minor stir, mostly from females telling me how good I looked. I made it a point to look everyone in the eye and smile, especially the guys. (A couple of guys told me in private that they wished they had to guts to wear one.)

You should know that most people like to see a man in a kilt, and nearly all women do. So I think the key is to appear confident, look everyone in the eye, and laugh off any jokes or smart comments. Having a come-back doesn't hurt either. But definitely avoid any rudeness, and never--EVER--let 'em see you sweat!

There are very few places I won't wear a kilt these days. And there are no comments that make me angry or embarrassed. It's partly knowing that the girls love it that adds confidence! Ha.
