Skirt friendly tested locations

[The Kilted Hoosier]

Hello from the new guy!

I realize that this thread was started some time ago and is likely played out. However, I must speak up and defend Indiana as being a "safe" place to wear kilts and skirts.

I live in a suburb of Indianapolis. I wear a Utilikilt with hose as often as I am able. To date, I have received only positive comments if any comments at all are spoken.

I travel with my family throughout the midwest and the south. Again, very little fanfare. Pretty much a non-event. Maybe I have enough of the "don't f**k with me" look to avoid derision. I do my level best to act naturally, be as polite as possible and speak with those around me when necessary. I find that my courtesy is met with similar courtesy in response. On occasion, when a comment is made, it is usually positive. A surprising comment came from someone wearing a "blue collar" uniform shirt to the effect of "I wish I was able to wear one of those (utilikilt) on a hot day like today." I responded that they are quite comfortable and his response was again positive with an "I bet".

So there you have it. The sum of my experiences in a kilt/skirts/MUG. It is what you make it. I like standing out form the crowd and being comfortable. A Utilikilt and hosed legs accomplish that readily.

Nice of you folks trying to help Matt out, but did you by chance look at the date he posted?

He hasn't been to this site in at least a year. He or Nitrox

I knew it was old when I revived it, but I thought it was useful to address his post anyway, even if he isn't around to see it any longer. I think any support for the idea that a particular place is safe or uneventful is a good thing here, and as few positive things as there are for me to say about Indiana, I thought I should offer one of those few in defense of it.
