David,

when I have details, I'll make it well known here. :-) I can say, however, they will be MUCH cheaper than can be found elsewhere. Won't be a money-making thing for us. She may even try full-diced.

My wife puts up with LOTS of things. Kilts are just another. :-)

My wife rather likes my kilt wearing. She thinks I look good and said my care in dressing has greatly improved.

My wife encouraged me to get my first. Recently, she mentioned that she likes the tartan traditional styled the best.

My wife ...tolerates it. She's from the Catholic Guilt school of behavior modification. So her comments, while never negative, are often along the lines of, "Oh. So you're going to wear your kilt? Outside? No, no. That's fine. Do whatever you want......"

She's the only person I know who can manage to verbalize a verbal pause.

And if they were the one who made the decision? My wife wears the pants in my family.... yuk yuk ??:


(I know, bad joke)

I don't see that as a bad joke at all. I am never afraid or ashamed to admit to anyone that my wife wears the pants in the family...but I take them off.

My wife is real good about it. She says what ever makes you happy!!! (I found me a good one)

I'd have to say my wife's initial reaction edged over to the negative side, slightly, though she never gave me grief over it. She warmed to it after exposure to other people's opinions though.

She was a little suprised that I wore them as much as I did (before I gained the weight that limited me to two kilts), but she likes the fact that all her female coworkers, young and old, talk about me in glowing terms, saying how lucky she is and all... I don't think I'd have made as strong an impression if I always wore pants whenever I visit the school.

My wife was very supportive when I first ordered a kilt. She has always encouraged me to wear a kilt when I want to, and was great when it came time to ordering the jacket/waistcoat and the traditional kilt. I knew she would be a non issue, as she knows how proud I am of my heritage (and hers) so a kilt was a natural thing for both of us.

She does get a bit antsy when I mention a new kilt or tattoo though. Expensive hobbies are more fun to me

At first my wife thought I was crazy, or going through a mid-life crisis. Now she loves me wearing them and gets concerned if I reach for a pair of pants. Aside from work that rarely happens. :grin:
