We're in India right now (in Hyderabad, if anyone cares). My wife is on business, and I tagged along to see a country I've never visited before.

Last time my wife was here she bought a sari, and she looks great in it. Every now and again she'll bust it out and we'll go out to dinner at one of the nicer Indian restaurants in Chicago. This trip, she decided she wanted another, preferably something a bit more casual that she could wear to the office when she's in India. A co-worker of her's took us to a local shop, and after examining what seemed like hundreds of fabrics, we're looking at a stack of four saris. My wife looked at me and asked, "is four too many?" (Keep in mind, she makes all the money - I can't well put up too much of an argument, can I?).

Luckily, my brain was engaged. I just said, "Tell you what - you get those four saris, and I get another kilt."

She bought four saris.

So, gentlemen, if you have an SO who maybe doesn't quite get the kilt thing, just find an ethnic form of dress that they like, and problem solved.

Now - Kerr or Roxburgh tartan? Modern or ancient/weathered? Which mill? Which kilt-maker? Still not as many choices as there are when looking for a sari.
