I've been wearing my kilts nearly full time for about 3 years now and the folks at church have become used to it. Some comment when the see someone else in a kilt and actually get in conversations that begin with, "Oh, a guy at our church wears a kilt all the time." One family is really somewhat fascinated. Their son (about 11 or so) saw my skean dbhu and asked, "is that a pocket knife? Cool, I want a kilt so I can wear a pocket knife too!" His sister absolutely loves the kilts and has to complement the ones she likes. Last week, I had on my USN tartan and as we were clearing the choir room she remarked to her grandmother, "Grandma, I think that blue one is the prettiest one; I really like those colors." Grandma's response? "I think that's my favorite one too." Too funny. I'd love to invite them to a celtic fest; I think the kids would have a ball.
If they outlaw guns, can we go back to using swords?
