The kilt really leaves quite an impression

Yep, the kilt makes you memorable, it seems. I meet people on campus all the time, and they often say "oh, you're the kilt guy! I've seen you around quite a few times!". Meanwhile, I have no reccolection of ever having seen said person before.

Also, on the subject of feeling awkward in certain sittuations, that's very natural... at first. After you get enough kilted hours under your belt, you'll start to find that it's hard to think of a sittuation that would make you feel too uncomfortable (at least, not by virtue of the kilt, anyway). Convince hubby to kilt more and more often, and he'll likely get that change in attitude that causes the negative folks to stay away, and the well intentioned folks to nod in approval.

Oh, and I think Atlanta is very kilt friendly! It seems like NYC and different spots in NJ are also especially receptive.

Boston is very kilt friendly. Many strangers walk up to me to tell me their clan name, and ask what tartan I am wearing. Then I remember that I am wearing a kilt, which is as natural to me as wearing blue denim trousers are to many.
