Hi everyone

[Iolaus]

I think he sounds like a good candidate for a Utilikilt. They definitely count as "anti-slave-to-fashion" attire, they look great with boots, there's few questions about tartan (although I do get asked about my clan sometimes), they have pockets, and quite often people call my Workman Utilikilt a "Carhartt (tough work-wear) kilt" because of the fabric used, so you've got that "construction worker tough" image going for it.

If he ever indicates a concern about old-fashioned vs. new, you might take a look at them.

Be warned though, no matter what style he wears, there will be certain questions constantly asked of him, by people that normally wouldn't ask such things. ;)

True Iolaus,

Yet I also wear my UK Caramel Workman's to the office. Them puppies are VERY versatile!

LOL, you're right! I asked him what length he would prefer and he said just under the knee. He has agreed to bow to my judgement on this, though. I like the way they look at the middle of the knee. And I would *love* to see him in brogues and hose, but he's married to his boots.

Flutterby, you're about to discover something. Once you buy him one kilt, he'll need another one. And then he'll need another one. And another one. LOLOL

but hey......it's cheaper than lusting after fast cars.
