I am with you there Bubba! I wont even look at ANYTHING corduroy for that reason. Plus cords are notorious for picking up lint and being hotter than hell. I have read the high praise the advocates of the new UK cord kilts BUT they still scare me.

Lead by example my good man - that's often the best way. Just keep wearing your kilts at every available opportunity and in ways that show the uneducated that they are viable alternatives to the dreaded trousers and slowly you will win them over. Some folks respond better to a softer sell than others. It also must be said that some wont respond no matter what approach you try - for them, its best to just to let them be and to turn your attentions to others who might be more receptive to your offering/suggestions. Kudos on the quest good sir!
