Well as mention in another thread. After getting a sportsmen and hose the misses let me wear my black watch outside. Once for celebration my birthday and again at my family reunion. I wore it again to the michigan Ren fest for the highland games.
So guys get your wife to one of these. It's the best shot at least try one on. When i tried on the got-kilt hybrid another prospective kilt wearer was trying to convince his wife. So my better half offer her the advice that the confidence he'll get it so worth it and make the kilt look great.
But as mention I bought a hybrid from got-kilt and its perhaps the only contemporary style she likes.
