Part of what took me so long to get used to it was actually my combative wife. She said at one point it drew too much attention to her, later she changed to jealousy over my not having to shave my legs. Last week, my son and I were both kilted, and she was wearing a twilight shirt that had the rampant lion on it. I don't know if the wedding we went to where I was kilted helped, or seeing a few other kilts near the wedding (but not at), or perhaps when a random person gave us a trading card showing 4 local cops in kilts that sure looked alot like mine....
