I never much cared what people thought of the way I am dressed before kilts, so why start now ?

I did have some trepidation about wearing it to the Iowa State Fair, but have done so many times now, and it was fine. Anywhere can be a little bit different the first time, I suppose. The whole key seems to be how one reacts to the reactions, really. Confidence cures most problems, and a sense of humor helps. Most everyone in my world has adjusted to it well enough to ask me why I am not kilted on those rare occasions when I wear trousers.
