    I voted yes because she bought me one for my birthday, frequently gives me a kilt check when I am wearing one, and on days when I'm not she asks "What no kilt today?"

    Although when someone asks her why she lets me out in public dressed like that, she answers "There are more important things to argue about."

    A Resounding "NO!"

    My wife is definitely not a supporter and not happy with my kilts. She calls them ‘skirts’ at all times and in a derogatory tone of voice and says that, “Its an embarrassment to be seen with you in a skirt.” or “Real men don’t wear skirts.” The only time she tolerates it is when I am playing my pipes or at an occasion where kilts are an “acceptable costume” as she calls it. She has even had her friends tell her that I look great and that they really like my kilts and seeing me in them. It’s her opinion that they are just trying to be kind to her so she won’t feel so embarrassed. After 29 years, I doubt that I will ever change her mind. I also doubt that she will change mine so on that we’re even.

    Dodged... that sounds like a major downer.
    My wife has no problem with my kilts. Save for one:
    She whines at me for not wearing them all that often (due to my lack of decent accessories). She hasn't expressed any distaste for them, but she gives me crap sometimes about wearing a "skirt" but it is done it humour, so I take no offense to it. She actually prompted me to wear one of my kilts to the ren-faire (at which there were lots of men running around in sh**** skirts), even though it wasn't entirely correct for the time period. Good times though.

    Interesting comments here.
    My wife is very supportive of me wearing a kilt, and she just loves the way I look in it. She even asked me the other day why I wasn't wearing it to church (just didn't feel like it that day)
    I think the time is right to get another one

    She was the one who encouraged me from the start to wear a kilt. Of course she is usually the instigator of many things that I eventually try - hot air ballons, sky diving, downhill skiing, and now motorcycles. Life is good.

    Cheers! Bill

    yes, it's time to get another kilt!
    Go, have fun, don't work at, make it fun! Kilt them, for they know not, what they wear. Where am I now?
