So, one day recently I was wearing my kilt in Colonial Williamsburg. I grabbed a nice yellow collared shirt and had kilt hose and whatnot on. In any case, for those who don't know Colonial Williamsburg is a mile by mile and a half (?) or so reconstruction of what Virginia's Colonial Capitol looked like in the 18th century. Forget the fact that I was wearing a modern kilt, a rather modern shirt, and modern looking shoes: clearly I looked like one of the tri-cornered hat and red-coated looking interpreters! So a woman asked me for directions to the pottery area. I said "is there one? The College's is down that street..." "Well, you work here, you should know." she replied. I explained I didn't work there. "Well" she reasoned "you sure look like you should." "I don't need to play dress up to wear a kilt!"
The other odd happening--families literally next to me, discussing in loud voices kilts, how they look, and every other kilt they saw. That's not so odd, but a few times I dared to try and say hello...Oops. I guess people believe that kilts prevent the wearer from hearing thing around them?

You mean to tell me that every person who wears a kilt DOESN'T play the bagpipes!
