on "slightly hostile"?
Any suggestions?

WAG == wives and girlfriends - a term used here (in Australia), wasn't
current in the USA circa 1980 when I left there so I'm explaining
I first wore a kilt in 1978 while visiting Scotland. We stayed with my wife's Grandfather, who convinced me to wear one of his kilts a few times. This introduction got my wife introduced to the idea. I went for many years without wearing a kilt, but took it up again several years ago when my sons married. Since then I have been wearing it more and more. Initially my wife was, like yours slightly hostile. I persisted, and she started noticing the attention (compliments) even an old bugger like me would get from the fairer sex. She now just shakes her head and puts up with me as she has done for 38.5 years.
I think a very good place to show her that being kilted is a "normal" thing is at a local Highland Games.
Good luck!
