Wife's reaction

I tell my husband the same thing, but he just won't wear them enough!

You need to buy him more kilts!

In my opinion I think a woman should be proud to have a mad whose heritage runs deep and is comfortable and confident enough to wear his kilt out with her .Maybe if she dressed to match then she would feel more comfortable. but this is just my opinion.

That's a great idea. Many Fridays my wife and I both dress up and go out together. We do it just because we like it, and it is noticed by others. The most common comment is: "You two are awesome!" We love being seen with each other and we're proud of how we look together. Great way to make a marriage last (36+years so far).

My wife kept telling me to get a kilt to go with the pipes (she bought my first set of pipes for me)
We have a, well, big difference of opinion though on colors, etc so I picked the tartan. She even tells me I need a casual kilt to wear more often, so I dont have to worry about the 8 yd worsted.
She has no problem with being seen with me in a kilt, though I do ask for her hose/shirt opinion.

Love kilted men I think they are just sexy.Took my 10 year old to hoghland games and shes like wow they look so cute in kilts......following momas footsteps I guess.If I had a proud Scot man Id never fuss if he wore his kilt.

My wife is an old Catholic schoolgirl and so is her daughter, so she says that is why she has a hard time seeing me kilted. We've had a conversation about the difference, but it may just take her more time. Although, she thinks I'm kinda weird and eccentric anyway, so she usually just shakes her head and ignores me.

So it's the tartan that she objects to? Have you ever tried wearing a contemporary (like a UK) around them? I'll bet they'd be just as uneasy.

While I am not married my fiancee absolutely loves me in a kilt. I wear a kilt almost everyday. We go out to eat and to the store and anywhere and I stay kilted. I truly do have a good life and soon a good wife.

When searching for a mate I had a bio up on a "Match/singles web site".
I made sure I had one photo of me kilted. and just a sentence about my kilt wearing.
this left no doubt that any match would know in advance of my kilts.
It worked, my girlfriend loves the kilt.
I often wonder if i had taken up kilts well into a relationship how the transition would have been for some past girlfriends.

My wife bought my three UKs, I'm kilted any time I don't expect to need to "rassle" one of "my" kids at work or I'm not doing obedience classes for the local big box pet store (where women can't wear skirts, either). She's resistant to my wearing a tartan, as I've said before, citing Catholic school girl trauma - she seems to be much more comfortable with contemporary kilts, but my plans to get another one have been waylaid, by the need to do the IRS thing, and I'm switching jobs, so pennies might be a bit tight in the near future. Good news is, I can be kilted at the other job, too, if I'm not like to be involved in a full-blown restraint.

Good luck getting her acclimated to your kiltedness - hope she becomes more accepting over time!
