    I have gone through the same thing with my family, however the kilt is no longer a novelty to them or me, it is simply what I choose to wear. Now when I don't get a comment it is because my family has accepted my kilt wearing as a matter of course.

    Ya done good to host the celebration for your folks. If it was the first time kin has seen you in a kilt they coulda just been surprised.

    My family had a wake for my mother back in January. Big gathering of 30 or so kin of all ages. Was kilted full time. But I'd "prepped" them in advance with pics and talk of kilts. And, wore clan tartans.

    Bottom line, you stood tall.

    Way I look at it, what other people think of me kilted is none of my business.
