    Really sorry to hear this. Yet you at least gave it a try, a lot more than many people do!

    Mi Hermano, At least you gave it a try!

    So have you had any very negative or dangerous responses in your community?

    My favorite shirt in to wear in the warm months. I have since started to wear them to work, with dress pants, and dress shoes... Reception has been good. We don't wear suits frequently. I have gotten alot of positive responses from the ladies I work with. Since I tend to get all most all of the Spanish speaking/Spanish Cultural clients. Its very accepted by them and I think it helps me in my job!

    Sorry for you to have encountered narrow minded people in your college.

    Have you showed them a picture of you kilted before coming to the college ?
