Kilt wearing accepted?

[Gary Krueger]

My wife, Peg (Margaret Mary) has more celtic blood in her than I.
She's a Corbett (Irish) and is under the Ross sept (Scottish) We both have German blood as well...which makes me more frugal than the preverbial scot.

I am wear the Ross Weathered Hunting Tartan in honor of my Father-in-law and Mother-in-law. I was very close to them, may God be good to them. I wear the band kilt, Modern Wilson. And as soon as I can afford it, I plan on ordering a occupational kilt...in the Clergy Tartan... the green rather than the blue. Blue looks too much like the uniform skirts my daughters wore in high school.

When I choose to work (being retired) I don't have the freedom to wear a kilt...however, I am sure that at the schools I substitute at, it wouldn't be a problem. However, the kids are enough to handle dressed in trousers etc.

My wife, being a piper's wife, is long suffering and resignedly puts up with the female attraction that seems to be attached to the kilt. As long as they don't get too fresh or too close... then she's ok with it. Even wearing it outside of Highland Games and Band gigs doesn't bother her. However, she does shake her head a lot.

BTW, my 6 year old grandson wants a kilt. He'll get one for Christmas.
