For many of us here, the approval of our wives/ girlfriends is very important. Its nice to have their back-up,and not get their back up if you know what I mean

I'd say odds are 50-50, but you can also point out to them the reactions of so many *other* ladies to you wearing your kilt. And if things go completely sour after that you can always go looking for those other ladies too.

I'm fortunate, my lady bought me my first kilt so its never been a problem. I have been very amused while selling Utilikilts to see some of the wives/girlfriends who initially didnt like their man trying on the kilt, to suddenly becoming very supportive after a buxom maid in a corset walks up to their man and tells him how sexy he is.

Good story Alan, not unlike my own experience. My wife doesn't mind the kilt, but she prefers me out of it, what I mean is..in jeans or shorts.
She doesn't like me wearing it ALL the time (I do anyway).

Glad things are improving for you.

My wife purchased my first kilt for me as well. She's always maintained the masculinity and sex appeal of the kilt.

As far as corset clad women, the Ren Faire reaction out in Purdy, WA last summer, a proud shop owner stated that "her lord" also wears a kilt (I was in a UK, that day)... We thought that was great, but my wife did inform me, without qualifications, she'll never refer to me as "my lord".

Glad to hear she's come around, Alan. I think that most women have at least a secret attraction to the kilt, after they've gotten over their initial apprehension.

I refer to my missus as "She Who Must Be Obeyed", from the H. Rider Haggard novel -- she didn't like it at first, but she has gotten used to it and now uses it to her advantage! :mrgreen:

Cheers,
