For any newbies who are nervous about wearing a kilt in public...

Brilliant! Though I'd agree with others here that a black kilt, especially a UK with its studs on the front, would be a lot easier look to carry off successfully at a bike rally than would a garish tartan or a saffron.

Bikers tend to like black anyway

I think that Gregory has summed it up well.

I noticed people with a not so "bourgeois" fashion taste...like: punks, goths, bikers and even skinheads...are often very kilt friendly.

They're "different"...well...so are we

I found found that biker types are very friendly to the kilt. Perhaps it's because they are secure enough in themselves to be different from the rest of society that they respect others that are as well.

And don't forget us clergy...at least the traditional ones...

bikers are good people and as for being comfortable in wearing a kilt if I may take a verse from Kilted Warrior Big Mikey
"Here's to it! The fighting sheen of it, the yellow, the green of it, the white , the blue of it, the swing, the hue of it, the dark, the red of it, every thread of it! The fair have sighed for it, the brave have died for it, foemen sought for it, heroes fought for it. Honour the name of it, drink to the fame of it- The TARTAN!" Remember its all in the sway!!

I just put my kilt-wearing to the ultimate test.

Karen and I just got back to our hotel in Las Vegas after spending the day at the Laughlin River Run bike rally. Harleys everywhere you looked, and hundreds of vendor tents set up in the various casino parking lots.

I was wearing a black Original Utilikilt and a black t-shirt. For the most part I didn't notice any reaction from people, but I did get a few "wow, cool kilt" comments.

So, if I can wear a kilt around a bunch of bikers, you newbies to kilting shouldn't worry about wearing yours in public.

How about wearing my kilt whilst taking my son to the park to play? I passed several groups of little girls who would giggle hysterically, and say; "Look! That guy is wearing a skirt!" And giggle some more. It was actually quite funny, but it's hard to offend me, too.

Tough audience???

High School....English as a Second Language class...and every single boy in that class is trying to show off for the gorgeous latina girl.

I agree too, I imagine the look would be very cool with bikers, but I don't want to detract from or diminish the fact that it still takes coblers!

I'll bet some of them wished they had what it takes to wear a kilt.

It was alot of fun wandering around at the event. For anyone interested in a few pics from that day (no kilts, just bikes)... http://www.nucleus.com/~agingles/laughlin07.html
