My first was a 16oz tartan, and she helped me pay for it. Then, she goaded me into wearing it more often.

Bryan...now she enjoys watching people watching me...

She was very good with the first three, now she cringes every time I talk with you guys.

My wife loves it, although she's at the point where's she sick of people asking me "the question" because she thinks it's insulting.

I think she's just jealous of all the attention ;)

My wife was very supportive when I first ordered a kilt. She has always encouraged me to wear a kilt when I want to, and was great when it came time to ordering the jacket/waistcoat and the traditional kilt. I knew she would be a non issue, as she knows how proud I am of my heritage (and hers) so a kilt was a natural thing for both of us.

She does get a bit antsy when I mention a new kilt or tattoo though. Expensive hobbies are more fun to me

At first my wife thought I was crazy, or going through a mid-life crisis. Now she loves me wearing them and gets concerned if I reach for a pair of pants. Aside from work that rarely happens. :grin:

My wife was very negative about it at first. But, after she was with me out in public, and saw that I got compliments from other people, or no reaction, she has accepted it. She has even told me that I look nice on occation. However she still does not understand why I would want so many kilts (14).

When I finally decided to buy a kilt (Stillwater) - my wife was puzzled and said "But where you gonna wear it?" I - being an eagle scout at an earlier point in my life was prepared with a great answer - "Uhhh... I dunno..." She smiled and said "You know I really don't care - if you want it get it."

The second kilt (Stillwater) was easier - and the answer to her question was obvious by then - where ever I want to wear them.

I just ordered a Semi-Traditional from Rocky, in one of her kin's tartans - which she LOVES. This time her comment was... "well, as long as you wear pants once in a while..."

At our house its evolution - not revolution :-)

My wife was fairly neutral about my two tartan kilts (Black Watch and Cunningham) when I used to wear them for Scottish Country Dancing and bagpiping. So after I gave up these activities and stopped wearing kilts frequently I was surprised when she offered to buy me the black kilt and plain sporran for everyday wear. She says that I really look good in the heavyweight black kilt but that the Cunningham is too garish and the Black Watch is too old and short and shabby. She doesn't like that lightweight black Mercy kilt which I've recently bought and I haven't worn it outdoors yet. So approval rate is one out of four.

David,

when I have details, I'll make it well known here. :-) I can say, however, they will be MUCH cheaper than can be found elsewhere. Won't be a money-making thing for us. She may even try full-diced.

My wife puts up with LOTS of things. Kilts are just another. :-)
