For me it was first family. Then comfort! Now it's all about the comfort!

It is entirely accepted. I have never had a negative response. I think the response that you get from others is wholey dependent on how you wear the kilt, and project yourself. If you wear it traditionally and with respect, as I do, it projects a feeling of confidence and elan that can't be countered or ridiculed.

I am full time kilted, and see no reason for going back!
