A daily kilt-wearer chronicling the things people say about my kilts on a daily basis. No identities or locations are divulged, just the irreverent things people decide are worth saying. All quotes are as close to verbatim as possible.
I love your kilt. I wish more men would wear those.

On why my credit union did not give me a tap card in 2023 when I asked for one:

Teller 1: ...maybe it was the kilt, maybe they couldn't match that level of manliness...

Teller 2: Well, I was just thinking about how it's just that cool, but that's just me.

Can I have your autograph? I've never seen a real man before.

Man, I tried to tell him it's not a skirt, it's a kilt. Get an education, man!

7/9/25, Jiffy Lube.

(It's totally a skirt. If you can find the pantlegs on a kilt I'll give you $100.)

Attendant: Must be slightly cooler with a kilt on, huh?

Me: (pauses)

A+M (in unison): Not by much!

(laughs)

A: ...even if you aren't wearing it *properly*...

M: There is no proper way.

A: Well, you know, *that* way... $18, please!

Me: (saying nothing)

Person 1: "If this sun weren't right in my face, this would be perfect!"

Person 2: "And then there's this nice gentleman here, in his kilt..."

P1: "Aren't the [state] Highland Games coming soon?"

P2: "No, not till August."

P1: "Guess they're not soon enough!"

Him: "I like it!"

Me: "Thanks."

Him: "I wish I were that brave."

Me: "You get used to it."

Nobody says anything about kilts at Renaissance Festivals.

Person: What's the kilt like?

Me: ...perfect?

Person: I bet it's a bit breezy!

"Love the kilt, by the way."

"I like your kilt!"

"You're one of two people I've seen wearing a kilt today! What's the occasion?"

"It's...Wednesday?"

"I see!" *gestures between legs* "It's kinda breezy!"
