    I've yet to venture into WalMart kilted. I did make a run to Target in my kilt, though. Got a couple of double-takes, but no comments one way or the other. Glad to hear you got a positive reception.

    Don't have a Wal-Mart near me (Chicago is a union town and many folks have been fighting to keep Wal-Mart out). I do go to Sam's Club occasionally and have never had anyone bat an eyelash at my kilt.

    Walmart, Target, Costco, and Dick's Sporting Goods, in addition to the local supermarket chain, all kilted at various times and dates. Yup, lots of double takes, a few folks artfully directing their carts around to get a second or third look, so far no negative comments or sniggers. Several people either commenting on the beauty of the tartan, the fact that they have seen other kilted folks in various places before, and the ever present question about what the special occasion is. Oh, and only once, the "do you pipe" question. I replied " no ma'am, I don't smoke a pipe, cigars or cigarettes", which needless to say left her speechless and dumbfounded while I walked away smiling. Kilting out in public where the public is not used to or expecting to see a kilted man is fun but can be quite an interesting experience, as can be found in the many stories read here.

    I had something similar happen in a restaurant the other day. At the end of the meal the hostess sat down with my wife and I and said she loved the kilt, MacLaren from Stillwater, and the kitchen boys wanted to know where I got it, as it was "SICK". I gave them 4 or 5 people to talk to. My wife asked me if I was happy now that people paid attention to me

    ( I WAS happy!)

    I have not seen any Wal Mart stores in Scotland but we have lots of Gold Brothers stores and by God they sell everything. They even supplied the Stone of Destiny when it was returned to Scotland.
