German kilter

[herminator]

Hi,

my name is HermannI´m from Germany but with long time stays in Oz and Burma.
I have no connections to scotland, I am a consentious objektor and still I love to wear kilt!
At home I mostly wear longyi or sarong, having got to know the longyi in Burma.
I am married, 3 children and 39 years old. While my wife has accepted my style of clothing at home,she objects to me wearing kilt in public, fearing reactions in our little town. But then, I have patience!

Hi Hermann,

I also got the same reaction From My wife at first. We live in a small village in Norway. If it's a small town people will get used to seeing you about. They have here anyway.

Welcom to the Forum and enjoy

Hermann,

WELCOME

I really enjoy seeing that this group is very global, it shows that kilts can be a great unifier in bonds of knowledge and friendship worldwide. You have come to the right place. Enjoy yourself as you read are ramblings and hear our tales, and just remeber to pipe in anytime.

Once again welcome!!

just start off slowly,wear it once for a special occasion, then slowy introduce it from time to time, once she understands noone will be negative about it , she will be fine. explain to her how you feel, how you want to be comfortable, and hopefully she will understand and help you.

Welcome to the forum Hermann.

Welcome Hermann. I think we have all had some resistance from spouse, family or employer, but the thing is to keep breaking down those barriers. I think you'll find a lot of support for that here. Glad to have you as part of the forum.

Welcome,

I live in a small town of 7,000 in the canyonlands of the American West. Folks here are redneck as they come. I'm the only kilted one in town but already I hear, "Where's your kilt?" if I happen to be wearing pants.

Enjoy it.

Hermann, you're not alone in Germany with your kilt. I shipped three over there, and all three thought they were the ONLY guys in Germany with kilts.

When I was in Euerdorf, I wore my kilt everyday, and got nothing but great reactions! Of course that was during Octoberfest, so they probably thought I was just a blurry, masculine looking woman... but hey!

Welcome to the board!
