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.

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,

Thanks, Gents....

For those of us dealing with unsupportive or outright hostile spouses or girlfriends, take heart. If I can bring some change about in my relationship, so can you.

That is excellent Alan! Kind of a bummer that you had to go through the initial ICY phase. At least you've overcome that.

My wife always thought that I looked good in a kilt, but she used to feel uncomfortable about being in public with me when I was wearing one. The problem wasn't the kilt, rather she didn't like the attention that it draws. After a while she was able to get used to it.

The only problem that she has now is the money that I spend.
