    Thanks for all of the support gents!! I have taken her to the Grandfather Mountain Games before and she just didn't get the point. She is of German and English descent and could really care less about who fought whom in what war of which year. It is to say that history and heritage mean nothing to her. She is a wonderful gal that does not share my interests such as flying planes or spear fishing. Those activities I do on my own even though I wish she would take part. Oh well, my son is all jazzed up knowing that his kilt is being made right now in the MacMillan Ancient Hunting Tartan. He will be attending all of the games with his dear ol' Dad. Thanks Guys.

    She'll be alright with you in your kilt. I haven't picked up from what you've shared so far that she's totally adverse to kilting. She apparently is ok with kilters, considering the fact that her (your) son will have ample opportunity to exclaim, "It's a KILT mom. It's not a skirt."
    Go, have fun, don't work at, make it fun! Kilt them, for they know not, what they wear. Where am I now?

    My advise is to make it a non issue. Call it a skirt yourself to show that the skirt word holds no insult power. Just wear it. Show her you are the same man she fell in love with and that nothing has changed in you life but a little more comfort and a little more style. Give her some ownership in the kilt. Let her help you pick out a sporran or other accessories that make it look less like a woman's skirt. Show some manly men in kilts and ask if this sporran would be best or these shoes etc.

    My wife thought it was weird at first but now loves the kilt.

    Most of all don't let it ruin your enjoyment of the kilt.
