Socially acceptable in the Inland Northwest?

My kids are on spring break right now, so we decided to drive back down to Greensboro, NC to visit some friends. I wore jeans for the drive, because I didn't want 7 hours of wrinkles on the pleats, but as soon as I got here, I have been kilted every day. Weathered McKenzie at my old church choir rehearsal, Black Stewart to get my teeth cleaned at the dentist, US Navy at a friend's theater production, and UK today at the library. Other than a couple of questions about "why", no comments except for positive.

I say go for it...it might be a non-issue for you.

North Carolina seems to be a pretty accepting place for kilts, especially where I am. I don't know if it would be so well-received in my old hometown, but maybe. Most folks dig it, even in the conservative South. My view is that if they don't recognize and acknowledge this area's rich Scot/Irish heritage, they're denying their past. Glad you were able to go kilted in NC for a bit! How's the reception in Ohio for the kilt? I have lots of family there too.
