My wife has a friend who calls around once or twice a week. She, her husband and children are all great people and were all good friends. Up until about a twelve month she had never seen me in my kilt although she knew I had one until one day she called and I opened the door in it. When she came in she could'nt speak or say hello or anything because she was laughing so much. I said what is wrong .. she said, ' I'm not used to seeing you in a skirt'. I said quite loud but jokingly 'its not a skirt it is a kilt. Men only wear kilts'.
'Ok' she said 'your kilt then ... but its still a skirt'.
However since I have become much bolder in wearing my kilt, she has seen me dozens and dozens and dozens of times in it now (including her husband and children), even coming up to the shops with me on several occasions. She has just simply adjusted to it and is certainly not embarrassed by it either.
