I had never thought of wearing a kilt until my wife and I attended the Richmond Highland games and celtic festival last year. As usual, I wore jeans, but with a celtic tee shirt that I'd found somewhere.This was my first trip to a celtic festival, and I expected that I'd see pipers and dancers, or the Scottish heavy athletes wearing kilts, but I was totally surprised at the number of non-participants I saw kilted, probably about half. We were looking in different vendor's tents, and the first words out of my wife's mouth as we were in a tent that had some off the rack kilts, was, "you'd look great in this" as she held up a kilt. I was in total shock, because, I'd tried a couple of skirts in the past (not crossdressing as such, but because I wanted an un-bifurcated garment to wear at least around the house), and she had been extremely negative about that. After that, I had to have a kilt. The 25th of last month was the first time I wore a kilt in public, other than a festival, and it was a great feeling.
