Hector, I understand the pressure. I am a Scot, and live in New Zealand where many Scots came to live over the past 150 years, and still there is pressure. This is one reason I made myself a flier, which I give to anyone I see who is having a less then happy reaction. You can see it here: http://www.fairservicenz.com/pdfs/Kilt%20flier.pdf
The flier is written specifically for my situation, but why not take the idea and make it your own? I have five or six of these A5 fliers, folded once and kept inside a folded piece of cardboard in my sporran. When I see someone raise their eyebrows I go up to them with a smile and present my piece of propaganda, saying, "This explains why I am wearing a kilt."
I am fairly new to wearing the kilt, since my boyhood in Scotland, and I have to be sure why I am doing it, so that I am confident, and not apologetic, which surely shows in one's bearing. But I take someone else's point that if it is no longer fun, save the kilt for the occasion when it will be fun.
I make an occasion of it when I go to church, on Sunday. Kilted Sunday.
All that said, I do hope you can have a breakthrough. My best wishes to you, Hector.
