One week of good kilted vibes

[Geoff Withnell]

I absolutely agree. I wear the kilt most of the time when not at work, and have found that a confident stride will ward off most negative comments. Not all, just most. And the negative comments made will usually be furtive and deserve no response.

My thoughts exactly. Wear it with pride.

Excellant! I agree that confidence is the key. I hardly ever get negative comments, lots of positives (mostly female). I guess some of my outfits don't look too Nancy either (black UK workmans, black combat boots, and Triumph Motorcycles garage shirt is a well loved look....). wear it with pride!

I wish I could get away with wearing kilts full time, but in the area i live (bible belt country) i would risk a beating if i did. I wish I still lived In Toronto nobody batts an eye there, although my parents don't understand it.

Wear it. Follow your heart, not the crowd. I live in North Ga which is considerd part of the bible belt and never had any problems from anyone.

By the way, pepper spray makes a nice addition to ones sporran.

I spend a week in Mississauga Ontario while by wife was in the hospital down there. She's ok now. A couple of the days I ventured out in my kilt to the mall and then the hospital. The reactions were great. I met a lady in the mall who wanted to know if she missed an event in the mall that morning. I guess if you wear a kilt you should have bagpipes. At lunch time I overheard a group of high school girls in uniform say that I was dressed like them. Granted my kilt wasn't as short as their skirts. Over all there were good comments about dressed in a kilt.
During the visits at the hospital I saw plenty of smiles from the nurses and female visitors. The best was two nurses who came up behind me and one said "would you be offended if I said you have great legs". Later that afternoon while walking with my wife a woman comment that she loves a man in a kilt. I'm fortunate that my wife doesn't mind me wearing a kilt. In fact she encourage me to purchase an R-kilt during the Kincardine Scottish Festival.
Besides being comfortable the kilt is a real ego booster.
