I have 2 solid FK's and made myself a solid Semi Trad USAK. I don't get any more or any less "hey nice skirt" comments in the solids than I do my 17 tartan kilts. It's all a matter of how you carry yourself and what YOU let GET TO YOU. If you look... nay... EXUDE confidence, people will respect you and the kilt. If you appear shy and timid, THAT'S when you start to get comments. You need a thick skin, but NO THICKER than you do wearing a TARTAN kilt (keep in mind that these comments are from a TARTAN kiltmaker).
