Help - I am scared

It's true. Kilts are for men, but they make us act like women.

When we're getting dressed for a formal function, It takes me longer than it takes her. If we go anywhere in the car, I have her check my pleats when we get out.

Chris,

Ouch! You're not just obsessing, but obsessing about obsessing!

Don't worry - this will go away once you obtain more confidence. As others have observed, the standard for many men approaches what can only be termed "slovenliness" and "dressing sharp" (what an arcane phrase) is no longer the norm.

A notable exception, for the most part: those who serve in the military. When wearing a dress uniform obsession isn't a problem, it's manditory. (It's probably why women love those men, too!)

Keep at it and you'll soon attain that "graceful, manly elegance" demonstrated by so many here. (Hey! Stop snickering! You know who you are.

)

The one we really have to wonder about is Hamish. He owns more kilts than most do pants... how does he decide which one to wear?

I don't know about 'obsessing', I guess at one time I might have but putting on a dress uniform was as natural after a few years of service as dressing in fatigues whether it was Class A's, Dress Blues or Dress Whites it was just the uniform of the day for the Army.
