Black Watch at IHOP and the mall

[ncof300d]

Well, I am now taking the time to post about this past Saturday evening. This past Saturday evening I went to Fort Wayne, IN. In Fort Wayne I went to IHOP and then Glenbrook Square. I wore my Stillwater Heavy Duty wool Black Watch kilt and a white wool sweater. I am convinced that an eight yard Black Watch kilt has a power unto its own. (it must be the swish, swoon)
When I arrived at IHOP I was near the entry door. Just outside was a young female employee talking on her cell phone. As I walked by she interrupted herself in mid sentence and told me, "I really like our outfit." It was funny because all of a sudden she was explaining to the person on the other end the sudden change in the conversation. I gave her a nod as I did not want to interrupt her phone conversation. Once inside I waited a moment to be seated. As two other female employees approached me to see about getting me seated the girl outside rushed in and claimed that she would get me a table. I am not sure what happened next, but the end result was a forth woman seating me and waiting on me. Strange........
When I arrived at Glenbrook Square my first stop was at Macy's. While there two female employees approached me together and asked me about my kilt. Two things that I really appreciated; one they did not asked my why I would wear a kilt and two they did not ask 'the question. Walking through one of the main hallways I pasted a group of huddled teams. I could heard their conversation suddenly change as I could hear one of them say "did you see that guy?". One of the girls spoke out to the others 'that rocks!' She said it in a manner that sound as if there was some debate as to whether I was cool or not.
As it was getting nearly time to go I was headed down the hall to where I came in when suddenly this late teen age or early twenties man yelled out (and I do mean yelled) "awesome, dude!" As he said this he was pointing at me with arm fully extended and hunching over. (It was a sight) In the process of pointing at me he nearly smacked his girlfriend. (I don't think that she was impressed with the degree of his reaction.) Although I was a bit embarrassed, it was a hoot to see how he behaved.

The power of the Black Watch.

The power of the kilt
Blackwatch would look very good with a white wool sweater. No wonder it got attention.
Well done!

Glenbrook is quite kilt-friendly, I've found. And actually, I've been in that IHOP as well, although I can't recall if I was kilted or not.

My next kilt will likely be a Black Watch as well. I don't care if it's far too common, it's a great tartan.

I'm tellin' ya, women dig the kilt. I think they think it's sexy because confidence is sexy, and if you're bucking social conventions and societal norms like that, you've got to be pretty confident.

My fiance' loves my kilt. I find kilt wearing to be inspiring and empowering in its own right. I find that nine times out of ten, the reaction to a kilt is mostly positive and one of respect. Now, I have to say that I wouldn't wear my kilt out and about in my old (small... backwoods... Southern) hometown. There are enough closed-minded folks there who would call it a skirt and not care to learn the difference. You pick your battles, no?
