Confronting the objections of loved ones

Or, I suppose, you could start insisting that she wear a dress or skirt at all times, so she doesn't look like a schoolboy in pants......that should give her pause.

If all else fails, strap a claymore across your back. That'll deter any comments

Bubba-

I happen to have one that I'm currently using as a cheese knife...

I have tears in my eyes from laughing so much!

Thanks for all the support and comments!!

Bubba-
I do wear many of the kilt accoutrements such as sporrans, (My wife is constantly harping about all of the sporrans (5) that I've purchased) hose, the kilt belt that I wear sometimes isn't the best, (I'm currently looking for another... any suggestions anyone?) combat boots, hiking boots, doc martins, well you get the point. I find it hard to belive that I look like a "SCHOOLGIRL" with hairy legs and paratrooper boots! :o Unless you count the punk look! LOL! No offence to the punkers

Although I certainly wouldn't be mistaken as Arnold (Conan) The Barbarian, I hardly qualify as feminine looking...

Hello Kilted Chef,
Why don't you post a photo. I guarantee that the membership here would be only too pleased to offer their <u>completely objective</u> appraisal of your attire. 8) You can then share the combined perspicacity of the membership here with your lovely wife. :mrgreen: (Just so she won't feel left out, we can critique her photo as well.

)

Well, I got my kilt belt from www.scottishkilts.net along with a buckle. The belt is 2 1/4 inces wide and the buckle is big enough to anchor a bass boat.

Add my homemade fur sporran with 3 gold tassels and a BDU jacket, my combat boots and beret with the Clan badge on it and there ain't no misidentification possible

Well Blu, I intend to post LOTS of pictures as soon as my digital camera is repaired, but that requires $$ that could be spent on another kilt or accessory! Damn thing went on the fritz at the best possible moments! I am beginning to think that machines have minds of their own!
