My wife feels the same way about me in a kilt.
As for some of my family, well, they know I've always danced to the beat of a different drummer!

I was single from just after boot camp to around November of 04 when I met my fiancee. I dated around but wasn't looking for anything serious. After Sept. 11th, I knew I'd be deploying at some point, so I almost stopped looking together... I was determined to not get a Dear John letter while I was in some war zone. My fiancee spoiled the hell out of me when I deployed again in 2006. It was awesome.

23 months ago I bought my first kilt (a Wallace Sport Kilt) at a celtic festival, my wife said, "when are you ever going to wear that again?" I now have 5 kilts, the original Sport Kilt was was traded in to Rocky with his "clunker kilt" program and replaced with two kilts: A Wallace and an Isle of Skye.
My wife has gotten used to my kilt wearing and in fact has knit me 4 pair of garter ties after learning how-to here on X Marks. She's come around to the fact that I look good in a kilt and enjoy the comfort of a kilt when driving.

Mrs. Legba noted initialy that she did not care for them, and did not go out in public with me. Now she does not care, and even bought me a few shirts for Christmas that matched my Dress Wool work kilts.
Not sure if she's coming around, or just gave up!
Alan...to put it in the words of Sir Winston, You step on their toes until they apologize...
I'm not going to repost Alan's tirade, but that is essentially what I did. I told her that she's educating her kids to be stupid- on purpose- and that responsible parents don't do that kind of thing. She's been really polite to me ever since... We'll see how long that lasts. I like this quote, but I would change it to "You kick them in the jimmy until they apologize!"
"Two things are infinite- the universe, and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." Albert Einstein.
Alan, I understand and agree with what you have said. I also agree that this should be a Last Resort. Before it ever got to the point that we're discussing, I would hope and expect that my wife, her sister, would set her straight. It has little to do with the kilt has everything to do with respect.
