It sounds as though you have a bit of a tricky problem there.How about suggesting that you are practicing for your holiday in Scotland and you really must get this kilt wearing job dead right.You know what sticklers we are for having things just right! Etc.,etc., etc.,etc..

Perhaps she realizes that you are better dressed that she is.

Insensitivity Alert - Most of us have read many times about how a well made kilt can last for generations. Passed down from father to son and so on. Can't do that with a wife, leastways not in this here county. j/k - don't kill me

Seriously I understand Ben's predicament. My wife was dead square against it. The kilt that is. When I mentioned the cost of a nice custom modern kilt she was sold on me NEVER wearing one.

That's OK baby! I just want to be comfortable and not have those road scars on my bad leg get infected again. It doesn't have to be a kilt.... Men all over the world have alternatives to p*nts.

Check this out (_wraps_self_in_bedsheet_) a sarong!!! for free!!!. Bought some homespun checkered cotton and sewed it into tubes BINGO - indonesian sarongs. Did same with digi-camo that one was a so-wrong.

She still wasn't sold on kilts. Time to go hardcore. the unspeakable men's garment we never discuss here. Thought she was going to expire, I honestly did. (my dead-head nephew will prolly wear that one, if he ever makes parole... yet I digress)

By the time my first kilt arrived I thought the mailman would need security to hold the screaming fans back. Brother must have thought he was mistaken for Bruce or something (Springstein, not Robert the...)

After that none-too gentle introduction to MUGs she was more than ready to see me in a kilt. Now she wakes up early most days just to see her man walk out the door.

It's all relative. In sales we call it the lamp and shade treatment. Make them squirm under the lamp then give them some shade. They love you for the shade.
