Thank you very much for the reply; this is what I was seeking - practical advice. I guess it will be similar to when I wore my Utilikilt in very, very rural West Texas. They too were too polite to comment but it seemed that every person I saw had raised eyebrows!

Sigh, perhaps the smarter thing would be to wear trousers. Depressing to go to the home of the kilt to wear pants! Well, I have months to figure it out.
