What if kilts never really catch on?

[Aramp]

Yeah, if kilts became mainstream, I'd lose 'indie cred.'

[pbpersson]

Well I have some theories about what "mainstream" really means.

Go to your local shopping mall, sit there for 120 minutes, and count how many women you see and how many of them are wearing pleated skirts.

Take that percentage and divide by 2.

That is the largest percentage of guys you will ever see wearing kilts.

It will be the guys who love the comfort, the freedom, and the comments from the ladies and don't care if they look "different".

Do you think that is a good formula and using that guide what percentage of guys will ever wear kilts? I don't think it will ever be mainstream, however if just one percent of guys wear them it could be called commonplace, right?

Quotting pbpersson, "I don't know about anyone else but I'm not all that freaked out if a gust of wind blows my kilt up in the air and someone sees my underwear."

I'm sorry but....underwear while in a kilt?!

Some wear it, some don't but even the Regiments wear underwear when going on liberty into town.

Who cares about what others think. I once cared about what others thought and I got high blood pressure and people thought I was controlling. Now, My BP is down, I have a good group of friends and I dont worry about things I can not change. It just does not matter. When I wear my kilt, I am in my own world and if someone doesn't like the kilt, so what. Wear it with pride. and dont worry, be happy.

Ditto!!!! Let the others be constrained and uncomfortable.

Everyone here has pretty much already said what I would have said, but I'm going to add one more thing into the mix.

I've long said, though I'm not sure I've said it here, that everyone loves a rebel/innovator... UNTIL they have to deal with them face to face. I happen to like being the one who makes them deal with it face to face.

Uh huh. What he said....

I live, at the moment, in fairly rural Japan. I think the locals are going to be quite shocked about a mad Scotsman in a kilt being around town. :confused:

I don't care if they never catch on, I love kilts and plan to buy a few more in the future.

Who's got the patience to do that!?
