I just did a trail by fire, tried on my kilt at USAKilts, wore it the rest of the day. Ended up wearing it to the King Of Prussia Mall which my brother tells me is the biggest mall on the east coast . Plenty of looks and people stopping to stare and a few that found excuses to come closer to get a better look. Also plenty of thumbs up and "rock on!" from customers and staff at the restaurant we ate at, (even "the question" from a male worker lol). I did have a few people e negative and laugh, but you'd be surprised at how quickly they stop when you do not even take notice, remember you can't fix ignorance. My wife was more nervous than me and said that she noticed more bad than I did. Ofcourse she did! I was too busy looking like I had every right in the world to be there kilted with my head held high and paying more attention to shopping than people. I enjoyed myself, since what I was noticing was the other guy's girlfriends looking and grinning
