just do a wee bit of travelling, I am sure you can find a small town that needs to be educated.
Ron,
McMurdo has a good point your work there is done.. you have a whole continent before you that needs education about the kilt

Doesn't have to be one of Steve's Saran Wrap Kilts; the cargo kilt which Steve made for me is turning a few heads. I'd got used to nobody noticing or commenting on my kilts but in the week since I received the Freedom Cargo Kilt, I've been stopped twice by tourists to pose for photographs; I've been asked to explain the tartan (or rather lack of it); I've had a young man tell me my kilt is "Cool" and I've overheard one teenage lass remark to her pal "Look, there's another cargo kilt on a man."

Help! I am missing something here! What are these Saran Wrap kilts I am reading about in this thread? I understand they are a product of Steve at Freedom Kilts, but I can find no reference to them!
Would some kind soul please point me in the right direction.

Which brings us to a subtle difference amongst the members of this forum.
Why are you really wearing that kilt? Are you wearing it to be comfortable? Are you wearing it to declare your heritage? Or are you wearing it to be different and thereby singled out?
Whether you are wanting personal comfort, the opportunity to be proud of who you are, or just to be a rebel really makes no difference in the end. But there are still those three distinctly different categories, nonetheless.

Yes, but not the primary reason.

Yes this would be my main reason to wear a kilt.

I thought I was different anyway, you know just like everybody else.
I find it refreshing now that those around me are used to seeing the kilt I dont get asked about nearly as much as I did in the past, it's just what I wear nothing more.
