If you have dealt with these people before please let me know how to respond.......

It does, to some degree, depend on the context or situation.

In some cases, it's completely pointless to explain anything.

Tell us what your situation is.

Rarely have I felt the need to explain such choices to others. If they are friends, they will respect my choice with or without an explanation. If they aren't friends, then what they think doesn't matter to me anyway.

Family, "friends", when I am trying to casually wear it around the house and out and about.

Ehh, just keep wearing it and shrug the comments off. To them, it probably does look like a costume.

But Highland dress IS the national costume of Scotland.

My sister in law tried to say that to me once... I asked her if she would spend $600 on costume. That seemed to work. Now, if I could get her to quit making cross dressing comments, I'd be happy.

So make cross dressing comments to her anytime you see her in pants.

i was at a my partners grandmothers cremation in Belfast the other week and decided to wear my kilt after permission from the future father in law he was more than happy to see me in my "Lallan Dress" as he put it
the future bro and sis in law where a bit shocked that i was attending a cremation without any "draaws "on ,
and being the only crematorium in northen ireland there was plenty of other parties for other folks cremations given me the mad stares and giggles
i just shrugged the wise *** comments and pointed out to them my country has a national dress and being proud of my heritage i`ll wear it to wherever i see fit including the inlaws weddings next year and they can say what they want
let them say what they want to get it out there system when they realise how much it means to you they`ll perhaps "haud thir whhesshtt " in the future
