Yes, Caddy - that was exactly the point I was making, sorry if it was unclear. SHE was okay with me wearing one only at those times when it could be considered "costume". But I refuse to treat it as such, therefore I won't wear it *only* at those times - if I am not wearing it on other occasions, I won't wear any of my kilts "only" on Halloween, at the Games, or Hogmanay.

Until we break that impasse, I won't wear any of them.

Thanks everyone for the support and the suggestions. It really does make a difference, and I can continue the debate with my better half in good spirit!
