You go, babe! Seriously, I did buy him his first kilt, and I am usually the first one to say "wear your kilt." My family gives him a lot of good natured teasing, but has overall been supportive. But then, as my dad jokes, "we knew he was a little weird when you first brought him around."

I really think it has to do more with your attitude than anyone else's. Do you wear your kilt because it's really part of who you are or do you wear it because it ticks other people off? There are times such as weddings, etc., that MacKay71 will ask someone ahead of time if it's okay if he wears his kilt. Usually because he's been respectful enough to ask, they say yes. Wearing a kilt should be about fun, comfort, heritage, etc. and should not be about "love me love my dog." While you should always be free to wear what you want and being supported by your family should come with that, sometimes discretion is the better part of valor. There are those times when offending someone, whether they are right or not, is just not worth the family disharmony!
