Could this be proof in the pudding

Very encouraging report there, Derek. I saw quite a few men in kilts out on the streets at night in Blackpool when I was there during the illuminations last October; I suspect many were Scots trippers there for the weekend who would never wear their kilts in the street in their home towns in Scotland for fear of how people they know might react, and who could be encouraged to wear them more often if more of us did so. Considering the number of kiltmakers and kilts being sold, you'd expect to see them worn more often. I mentioned before that I don't wear my kilt to go flying, so the folks over at the airport have never seen me kilted; I think its maybe time I enlightened them.

That's great! Not only is it such a thrill to see someone else wearing a kilt, you looked great in the band pics.

Thats cool Derek,

But do you play any Blues?

The band I mostly play with is Country & Blues and old R & R. (Harp Player)
Lookes like fun.

Its happening Derek,

Even over here in the boonies of the canyonlands. Was at the doc kilted yesterday and the nurse said her son wanted a kilt. Referred her to Kathy Lare for whatever tartan he wanted, then gave her the contemporary kilt makers addys for after he falls in love with the freedom and want one to knock around in.

Common sense tends to prevail over time.

It's true - the word spreads quickly. Our dogsitter has told me that he's thinking of getting a kilt, too.

Glad to hear these events Derek. Three lads in Cilts just goes to show that you have created an acceptable aura in the area. The two other encounters show that that you have added to the acceptable factor. Well done.
