I've only had an adverse comment on my kilts from one person and I've worn them all over, including at my work as a civilian on a military base. Unfortunately for me, that one person is my wife. She insists on calling it a skirt and never a kilt. She says, "Real men don't wear skirts." The tone of voice is always with the intent to insult and she says that its an embarrassment to be seen with me in a 'skirt.' It hasn't stopped me but it definately has cut down on my quality time in a kilt. The only time she finds it barely acceptable is when I'm playing the pipes. (Yes, I'm one of those pipers) After 29 years, she hasn't given up and neither have I. I must say that I envy you that live in a less adverse environment.
