A dad has been made proud!!

I know I haven't posted in a while. Uncle Sam has been keeping me super busy rebuilding a submarine. Regardless, this little tidbit just HAD to be shared.

Yesterday, the wife and I were at Jo-Ann's Fabrics, looking for some fabric from which to make my forthcoming frock coat for my kilted pirate outfit I'll be wearing at Ren. Faires and Pirate Fests. I noticed some 6 color desert camo bull denim that would make a great contempo kilt. I picked up the bolt and asked my elder son, "Jimmy, how about this for your kilt?" Normally, he is vehemently opposed to kilt wearing. Well... he responded with, "Ok!"
Moreover, he started selecting "tartan" materials to do matching kilts for he and I for Ren Faires.

Today, I paid a visit to StillwaterKilts.com with him. He's wanting an Irish National (they only offer a Thrifty in his size) to match my Irish National Economy), a Black Watch, and a Leatherneck. And he said the Wallace is really cool looking, also.

I'm such a proud father now!!!

That's great!

My Son (almost 17) does not want to think about wearing a kilt.

That is just fantastic, I often wonder what my son would have said, if he was still alive, about his dad wearing a kilt

Some sons come around and some don't! Mine did at 16 and fortunately for me he has lost enough weight that most of my kilts don't fit. I don't have to check his bedroom when looking for kilt.

All the best

My second son wears a kilt often and my son in law and his father have now ordered kilts so things are looking up !

My son's 2 years old. My wife swears up and down that he'll never don a kilt. (Ha! I say!) Last night, i was sorting some laundry. My sporran was on the table, closed, and my kilt was hanging up. He, being the kind of little boy who HAS to figure out how something works, picks up my sporran and starts to try to undo the snap enclosure (it's an SWK economy sporran).

To which i say, "Nick can you say 'sporran'?"

Congratulations, it is indeed a proud moment. My 22 year old son wears a kilt, though his wife is still not to excited about it, and my 254 year old son is hoping for a Birthday kilt. Now if I could get the 15 year old step-son interested we would make quite a group.

Well done,

254 year old son? You must have been around a fair while Moroni!
