when I was in the military (and single), I would take my kilt away on overseas deployments. eventually it was so accepted that I would be wearing it, my OC would specifically ask me to bring it as it was good for the image of the squadron (being based in Scotland).
whenever I got hassle from the lads, or from strangers from other nations, I would point out to them this one fact.
"Chicks dig guys in Kilts"
I got way more action in a Kilt than any two other guys on the squadron combined.
It never failed.
