My wounded Saffron pride!

That is a most informative article, Matt.

I think I would have told that young Scotsman to do a little reseach on the internet about his national dress in order to get his facts straight.

Oddly, in the 14 months that I have worn a kilt, I've only had one person comment that they thought all kilts were tartans.

I tend to not wear my Saffron Kilt to events where people expect tartan. I do wear it often to the Irish Pub in town and everone always loves it. Sometimes you just want to go out and not have to enlighten the locals. O'Neille

Most of the time, I've noticed, they are actually just trying to deal with the fact that they wish they were wearing a kilt, but either lacked the backbone to wear one on that occasion, or don't own one.

Or a lack of stones to put on a kilt. Better for you to be kilted and knowledgable (and confident) than he, being ignorant and a snotty little bast ..d. You handled that well and indeed suffered this fool too long.

.... Sometimes you just want to go out and not have to enlighten the locals.

I'll agree with that.... There has been the odd occasion when I could have worn a kilt but didn't, just because I did not particularly feel like dealing with any hassles.
