My wife scoffs...

[llyd]

My wife thougt it was a goofy idea..but she made me one in redneck hunting...now she is blown away at my finally having learned how to sew..I will finish my fourth this evening, a box pleated Navy digital camo...and probably start one in mavy blue bottomweight cotton...have about gained confidence to work in some high dollar tartan.

My wife especially loves to see me kilted, but when I was showing my SIL a swatch of Scotland the Brave tartan my SIL said, "I like that tartan better than the one you have on". I was wearing windowpane tweed.

At first my wife just smiled and chalked it up to more of my strangeness. Besides, its one of my more sane piccadillos. Over time, she really began to enjoy it and now buys me kilt items, suggests outfits for occasions and enjoys attending evening with me kilted. Funny story: She was being hit on at an sirport bar. She told the gentleman that her husband wore kilts and threw trees for fun. His response..."Kilts...and you live in DETROIT?". She said he left her side quite quickly. Not sure what to make of all that

Like Bugbear said, "Happily single "

The only attention I get is positive attention. I am sure there are those who disapprove, but as far as I know, they keep to themselves.

If a lady comes along who likes me but not the kilt, she can keep walking.

My (now ex) fiancée said that it was weird and actually used the word "disappointed" once. Finally got to where she didn't voice objection when I went out, as long as she wasn't going with me. Then she'd ask me to put on pants.

Another girl I used to date (before the kilt, still friends now) loves it and encourages me and our mutual friend to wear ours as much as possible.

If you think your wife is rolling her eyes now, just wait until the lassies come up and want to examine your pleats!

OK - well you just use positive reinforcement.

When you wear your kilt, be more attentive, romantic, helpful - don't overdo it, or you'll be rumbled in a minute, just do slightly more smiling, listening and stay closer.

When you wear trousers be slightly preocupied, wander off and find something to do or talk about what you are planning, or yourself in general.

Be subtle!!!

Anne,

You're an evil genius! I'm glad you're on our side!

[ForresterModern]

Mine scoffs and rolls her eyes when I discuss ordering a kilt, when I tell her I have ordered another kilt, when I jones for a kilt in progress, when I have a kilt package show up on the front porch, and anytime I want to wear a kilt, whether or not she is going to be with me that day or not. Just the way it is sometimes.

We try to not make it too big an issue in our daily lives.

Good luck with yours.
