Unkilted Kilt High - or Don't Quit Kilting

[Whidbey78]

I understand where you're coming from. My town is about six hundred, though Chadron State College is about 20 miles away. About 5000 there, counting 3000 or so students...and other than that there's a Wal Mart(I may wind up on the POWM site someday). This is cowboy country, so when we go out, there are boots, buckles, jeans, and hats...then me in my tartan glory.

I catch A LOT of guff, mostly friendly from the old guys but some real crap from the youngsters. The ladies do love it though!! And it makes my wife territorial sometimes. Oh and if you really want to catch the eye of the ladies, carry your 5 month old cute as all getup son while kilted.

It's not unusual to see me in p@n+s at work, but if we go to any event and I'm not kilted I'll be asked "why" a thousand times!!

Stick it out in the small towns. Once people are used to it they almost expect it and if they shun you for it who cares? The world is too big for small minds!

I to live in a town of about 6000. I am well known because I do a lot of volunteer work (got to keep busy). When I started wearing kilts I got some comments from my friends, mostly good comments or polite inquiries. Occasionally a stranger asks "why are you wearing a skirt?" But only one person made a derogatory comment about my kilt and I expected that he would so I didn't bother to respond. Now everyone expects to see me kilted.
