Gentlemen,

When I was first married (decades ago) my wife thought it a little odd that I so adored kilts. What's wrong with that statement? ---- My wife is from Stevenson, Ayrshire, and her roots are so deep the tips can't be found. Not to mention that my people are only twenty miles up the road in Bo'ness with equally deep roots.

Twenty-odd years ago I told her that (forgive the perceived blasphemy) men's skirts, in the sense that kilts are most certainly, despite ignorant opinion to the contrary, skirts, was the coming thing.

Well. When Steven Villegas got off the ground with Utilikilts, and I ordered 1 of 500 of the genuine article, she began to see the light. What mystifies me to this day is why was Villegas required to open her thousand year old Scottish eyes?

Anyone have any insight here?
