Gradual. I simply started to wear it out more often... not without some resistance mind you. It's been 5 years now and resistance has dropped virtually to zero. It took roughly roughly 3 years before I tired of the debates and laid down the law with respect to where, when, and how often. Unlike some of the membersip, I remain pretty much the proverbial 'weekend Wallace' and do not wear kilts full time. For me, that's not particularly important. I will admit that if circumstances were different, I might be inclined to wear them more often... esp. in the summer. Although the final decision remains mine alone, I do remain respectful of family sensibilities.
