    Just common sense and comfort.

    Same reason people in general dress like crap, because gnerally they don't put any thought into it. They'll wear cloths that don't fit and don't match because its what they've always done. Common sense isn't so common.

    Incentive to wear the kilt

    One incentive is just to keep wearing it and others will see you looking comfortable in a kilt and will want to try one themselves. Though I doubt whether kilts will ever become mainstream as they are so expensive - will be interesting to see if these cheap Pakistani polyester kilts can win over some converts as they would make good lightweight casual summer wear as an alternative to shorts.

    I think there is a certain amount of "avertising" that takes place when we wear our kilts in public. This will probably prompt some men to try it. Personally, I don't particularly care one way or the other about the kilt gaining parity with trousers or becoming mainstream. I wear it for comfort and my ancestral ties.
