A Dhuglas, have you thought about getting a kilt suit or three from 21FCK? They're pricey, but not anymore than a trousered suit would cost you, really. I am thinking that perhaps a kilt suit would be better accepted at first. If you have the bread, that is; they are currently out of my budget But if you can spare the bread, it might be worth showing them a picture of yourself in a kilt suit.

Just a few thoughts. Good luck man!
