I am 36 and new to wearing kilts. Actually love wearing them for the simple fact of not having to wear anything under them so if I had a place that I felt compelled to be modest - I would rather just wear pants than underware under the kilt!

As for women being tough - hell yes! One of my most difficult kilt checks was from a senior lady at a family function. I finally figured out the answer to solve he from standing at my side...

Since you have the courage to ask if I am regimental, I give you permission to find out for yourself.

She giggled, blushed and walked away. She did come back a few minutes later with the same question and when she got the same answer - left in giggles again. I actually think that made her day. (No she didn't check)
