Re: Fighting objections from the wife
I was the one who got Bob kilted, so he's never had this issue. But I can understand a woman wondering what the heck is happening when her husband announces he wants to start wearing skirts (c'mon, that's at least the perception if not the reality).
The XKilt is great for some folks, but maybe not the best start in these situations. Some of the other threads that AlanH has so kindly searched up have pointed out that the LESS the kilt looks like a modern woman's skirt, the better off you may be. Tartan, lots of swoosh to go with the swagger, a sporran that doesn't look like a fanny pack all set the ensemble off.
Anyway, best of luck and be sure to read those other threads, there's lots of good advice. But in the end, in your situation, it really is just a piece of clothing and you have to ask yourself which is more important, the kilt or your relationship. Alan has some strong views on that (wow, what a surprise LOL) but you have to find your own path.
P.S. Men are notoriously hard to shop for (birthdays etc.). One of the great advantages of a kilted husband is that there is always something he wants to add to the kit!
