Well, I did it.

No kilt yet, but according to my tacking number I'll have one on 6/22/05... my wife is gonna kill me ;)

Black original Utilikilt. Hope I look good in it ;)

Congratulations. Enjoy. Don't worry - your wife will approve.

Oh you think, YOU didnt see the look of terror on her face when I've talked about it ;)

Just wait til she sees you in it.

**Dreadbelly** · 15th June 05, 06:13 PM

Quick, somebody call the Save the Marriage Brigade, we have a live one here!

Cue the sirens.

**HeathBar** · 15th June 05, 06:20 PM

Just be sure she's the first you model it for

Welcome to the group! Nice choice for a first kilt, too. I just got my black original UK in the mail last week, and I only take it off for work.
As for your wife...she'll most likely come around, once she sees you wearing it. It took my wife over a year to really start to accept my kilt wearing. Now it doesn't bother her at all. In fact, she thinks it's sexy.

Great to have you on the board!
Wives are funny about kilts.
Often they do not like it at first.
When you wear it out and they see how other
women respond to kilts, then they change their view!:-D

Welcome to the board. I guess I was lucky. I got my first kilt after my wife and I attended our first Celtic festival and saw all of the guys wearing kilts there. She told me, "you have to get yourself a kilt." I did, and then another and another. Now I have 6 of them, the last one a USA traditional in my favorite though. However, I saw a gentleman wearing a black 21st century kilt. It really looked good, more like a traditional, done in black than a modern kilt. I'm really thinking about it now.

It took the Mrs. about 5+ months to come around, but she did, and with a vengeneance. She still isn't sure she approves of this at work, not because she doesn't "approve", but she's concerned that everyone else will see me as some weirdo and it'll impact my job. Well, it's been almost six months and no sign of it yet, so 'nuff alrready.

You know she's come around because now it's HER prerogative to disapprove of my kilts, but if anybody ELSE disapproves, **watch out!!** LOLOL!
