Wow- that is some accomplishment! I cannot imagine suggesting a kilt to my father.

Now, my wife's side is different. My sister-in-law mentioned that she would like to see her husband in a kilt, so I took some tartan swatches to a gathering we had last week with an offer to organize some info if she was truly interested. She seemed amenable, as did bro-in-law who later wrote me that he thought the kilt idea "neat". Walt is the only man whom I know who owns a tux, so I figure that a good formal kilt is more in line with what he would use most often.

Now that I think of it, this is the second person on my wife's side who has expressed interest in the kilt. One fellow really took to the casual look I wore to that biker wedding last month and has been bugging my wife for a picture. That still surprises me because I was expecting ridicule and not admiration. Go figure.

One by one, I will convert them!
