Any suggestions for wearing a kilt in public for the first time?

Well, I did it! I first went to the barber and they were cool about it but some guy in the chair next to me looked aghast. I defused that by telling him I play the bagpipes Next, I went to a suit shop to look for a shirt - they didn't have what I was looking for and not a word. I then went to a discount clothing store and again, not a word. Finally, I went to a sandwich shop that I regularly frequent and one of the guys there asked about my "outfit" - he wondered if I was off to play a concert (I'm also a classically trained musician). Other than that, he didn't seem too concerned about my "outfit" (although I think he thought it was weird). Needless to say, I survived.

Well done, sir. Just remember only to repeat on days that end with a "Y" !

Nice thing about utility kilts is no venues needed. I come home after work and ditch the pants and snap on a kilt. Now I choose the appropriate kilt for what I am doing. One problem I have is kilt addiction. I have 7 now. ☝

I nearly always put on the kilt when I'm home. I wear it elsewhere but mostly when I go to the park to practice bagpipes. Their amazingly comfortable!
