That's awesome. I'm glad that happened for you and your son. It's funny what it takes to change someones mind about things. I'm pretty lucky that both my Lads love to see their Daddy in a kilt and they have a great love for all things Scottish.
One of my Boys, David, is 17 and a Bass Player in a local Rock/Punk band. He says to me the other day that Dan the Drummer and him have decided to make their own MC Hammer Pants (Doo Doo Doo Do... Doo Do... Doo Do... U can't touch this!... Hammer Time!)
They have. They've made them out of light cotton. They are very, very voluminous, yellow (predominantly) and with a red criss cross stripe. They wear them to college and when they're out and about round town. Couple of days ago he says to me (and I para-phrase).
"Dad, I think I've worked out why you wear a Kilt"
"Why's that son?"
"Some people have some serious clothing issues don't they. It's good to push their boundries though."
"Well, I wear a kilt 'cause I like wearing kilts but I know what you mean..."
He always thought I was a bit of a nutter before donning his 'big' trousers.
Don't want to detract from your thread mate so I'll post their myspace address in off topic if anyone want's a listen to what his band is doing.
