My wife has no issue with me being kilted and even encourages me to wear it more often. Our church just had photos taken for a new pictorial directory and I appeared kilted and herself sporting a sash in the same tartan.

She's also getting used to me being checked out. I think part of her fun is observing the reactions of others to her kilted man. We had just exited the Piper's Kilt (burgers & brews joint) via the mobbed bar area Friday night and she tells me "You wouldn't believe how many heads were snapping around as you walked through there..." Two seconds later a guy walks by and says "Dude - love the kilt. I'm half Scottish..."

And for anyone who ever wondered: Yes, you can safely navigate through Little Italy in the Bronx while kilted. Did it Saturday since the Long Island Highland Games were canceled -- please see my post in the Games forum and share your answer to my question(s) there.
