I can tell by your posts that your freaked out about this. Some here just strapped the new kilt on and went out to take on the world. I was a bit like you sound. I started by wearing it around the house to get used to it. Next the gas station and post office. When I was comfortable, restaurants. Now I fly across the country kilted. Some get into the pool one step of the ladder at a time and some plunge in all at once. The choice is yours.
