Wife does not like me in a kilt

[BroosterB1]

Hummm....maybe a new thread "Dork in Kilt" Pics I'm sure a have a few that qualify.

as to the OP, maybe your wife is just boring? Boring folk do not suffer us dorks well. Embrace the inner dork... least you are not wearing a pocket protector or your Ed Hardy jeans around your knees....

Taken the scientific sense... the above sentence is a bit alarming...

Dork in a kilt? No way. Bill wears it well.
I would second the advice to wear different hose (plenty of threads that mention white or off-white hose).
But dropping the bonnet is not necessarily a good suggestion.
I have been wearing a bonnet (when outdoors) fulltime for the past nine months, after taking delivery of one from Scotweb (and receiving another as a gift from an X Marker).
But my circumstances are somewhat different from those of the OP.
When I met my wife (again, since we had been classmates in junior school) I was already a member of a kilted regiment. I occasionally wore my kilt around the flat (apartment), and (especially in cold weather) wore my khaki army tammie.
I was seriously interested in buying a kilt when I handed in my regimental one, but the prices quoted to me were quite alarming, and I dropped the idea for the next three decades (and nearly a half).
When I took up a fresh interest in tartans and kilts last year, I already had a sizeable collection of books on tartan.
I had kept my army tammie on leaving the regiment (it was threadbare, having been worn constantly from the time it was made in 1942), and have worn it at home whenever the weather was cold.
(Without some head cover, I develop a painful neuralgia in cold weather.)
Having ordered and taken delivery of my new tammie, I felt obliged to wear it on every occasion to justify the expense of its acquisition.
So despite my wife’s very English disparagement of the kilt, she acceded to my expressed interest in acquiring one (although she made me wait until the end of last year).
My advice to f150k is to persevere in wearing the kilt, especially around the house, but also on appropriate occasions out of the home.
Give your wife time to get used to the idea, and expose her to information of the kind that is plentiful at X Marks.
I would be interested to hear in, say, six months’ time, what her opinion is.
Regards,
Mike
