    Well the in-laws will be out because, I will never get maried again. LOL but the store sounds great. I stay on the road alot so I really don't know anyone elsee that wears kilts. But I will look into the local Scottish/Caledonian/St. Andrew's Society.

    So what you all saying is to get kilted and go for it right? LOL But don't go to a pub for the first time.
    Thanks

    In multicultural societies, lots of people wear 'different' cloths..

    Well, I guess you've answered your own question. Wear it to supper somewhere you don't often go. No hotel restaurant management are ever going to be nasty to you, their customer.

    Personally, I wore mine out walking a few times - a few other walkers obviously noticed, but heck, they look pretty odd in their waterproof overtrousers, cargo pants, and those AWFUL trekking poles!

    I'd echo someone else's comment: "I enjoyed myself, since what I was noticing was the other guy's girlfriends looking and grinning." Too right.

    The thing the kilt has made me aware of is how much we live in a multi-cultural society and how many people from other cultures wear clothing that's specific to them too. Yes, in some places, people still stare at a woman in a Sari, or Muslim men in their white robes, and Sikhs in turbans etc etc. So, in those places, people may stare at a bloke in a kilt. Tough.
