You can gently inform your significant other that there are responsibilities associated with the wearing of the kilt. And there are general rules of thumb (and Hamish) that override what wives think.

Kidding aside, there are some subtleties associated with wearing the kilt that have developed and evolved over the last 200 years... something I believe shouldn't be ignored. And while there are no kilt police to tap you on the shoulder and critisize the errors we make, it's always better to know and understand the rules before you break them.

There isn't a single member here, that didn't strap on a kilt for the first time and ask all the questions you're asking. In short order, you will adapt a style, based on an understanding of the rules but adapted to suit your style in a meaningful way. Best of all... the learning curve is short, and alot of fun.
