    I'm sure a trad. Kilt will be fine. In a utility kilt you'll certainly will have more explaining to do and older Germans will plainly consider it a skirt. I left Germany three years ago and up until then I've never seen anyone wearing one of the latter kilts.

    I'm back!

    Had a great time in Germany!! Beautiful country, very nice people, and smooth sailing on the autobahn - I'm glad we hired a car instead of traveling by train!

    Wore the utilikilt to travel, but not while touring or doing business. My travel partner/business colleague was just enough uncomfortable with it that I didn't want to add more stress to his travel experience.

    When I did wear the responses were very pleasant. Got a LOT of stares from any older gentlemen, some appeared to be rather dissapproving, but that's alright.

    Good to be home.
