Got my uncled strapped in...

My uncle was visiting this weekend. He's seen me in my kilts a couple times, so I managed to talk him into trying one of them on. Here he is in Ferguson Modern. He looks better in it than I do!

And us together, with me in my Ferguson Ancient.

He enjoyed wearing it, got several compliments and started a few conversations. Unfortunately, he isn't likely to be buying one any time soon, so this may be the first and last time he wears a kilt. Maybe I'll have to buy him one at some point so he can continue to wear the family colours!

Excellent shots, hope you can continue to encourage your uncle into kilts.

I wouldn't say he looks better, but he certainly looks sharp. As do you.

He looks comfortable and confident, he is a natural.

I was surprised at how well he took to it. He said that he forgot he wasn't wearing pants until someone made a comment (all positive). Not self conscious or anything.

NewEnglander, I might do that that. Good luck with your fam, too

Thanks for the compliments, guys. I'll pass them on to him.

If your kilts fit him well, offer to bring an extra to the next family gathering for him to wear.
I know I'm doing my best to eventually get my brother and cousins into the kilt, but none of us are the same size so it's more complicated.
Good effort, all around!
