    You got me thinking. I believe the most common place I wear the kilt is to the public library. Sometimes that includes public transit to the big downtown library. I wonder if the social norm for quiet and politeness there has influenced the quiet acceptance. Wherever, just get out there and do it; practice breeds confidence. Happy kilting.

    The two (and only two so far) places I was uncomfortable while kilted, was with a family member that said he was embarrassed to be seen in public with me and a (former) friend that owed me money. All my other instances have been great. The twenty thousand football fans at the University of Mississippi "Ole Miss" Grove for a tailgating party, to the thirty personal friends at the recent funeral of a loved one, had positive reactions to my kilt.

    Or in my case my daughter. I wear the kilt when I go to the city to take my daughter and her friends out. Interestingly enough, it has resulted in free drinks as well as unsolicited phone numbers.

    No matter where you wear your kilt people will ask questions - the most common being are you Scottish , is that your family tartan & are you wearing underwear . Also people may try to sneak taking pics of you . As far as challenged , never happened to me yet . I've worn mine hiking , to the Philly Zoo , Longwood Gardens , among other places . Touristy areas are used to seeing lots of interesting fashions .

The more you were it my friend the more you see how people are around you it brings out the best in people I fined . And yes the most common question I get is are you wearing anything underneath that and what tartan is it .
