My wife and I attended our first Celtic and highland games festival several years ago. Of course I was wearing my usual jeans and tee shirt. There were all of these guys walking around in kilts, so many that I was pretty sure they weren't all competotors or vendors. I was starting to feel jealous of how comfortable they looked and how I noticed the women (my wife included) staring at them. Then in the UK booth, she suggested I try on a UK. I did and although I loved how it felt, I just didn't think it looked like a kilt. I told her I liked the tartan kilts better so she said, "so, buy one", and the rest, as they say is history.
