I'm with you on that one, Captain!
GreenDragon, if you do a search of the forum, you'll see a lot of us have gotten similar resistance from our spouses. I guess if you look at from their point of view it's probably not surprising. They married a guy in normal pants, and now he wants to wear some kind of unconventional garment, in public yet!
You didn't mention whether this is your first kid, but your wife being pregnant probably doesn't help the matter, between hormones, worries about parenting, etc. She may be concerned that you're going in some new, and separate direction, just when she needs you the most.
I don't have any surefire answers, as I am still dancing this dance with my spouse. My general advice is get a kilt that won't break the budget (its easy to get addicted, and this rabble is a bunch of enablers ), go slow and get her used to seeing you in it around the house, pick your battles, and hope to win her over in the course of time. Some articles from here or here might also help you.
Best regards,
Jake
