The Wife Finally Went Out With me

[Drwill4]

So, the wife finally agreed to go out with me while I wore a kilt. I think I've been wearing her down with my success this last Friday kilted at work as well as getting together with the neighbors and all the positive comments, especially from women. She had a "Paint Night" at a local brew pub tonight and said I could wear a kilt if I wanted. Her only request was that I pair it with a black T-shirt rather than dressing it up some.

Since I'm the new proud owner of some kickin hose, I pair the T-shirt with my USAK Casual German heritage kilt, black hose and some Clark's Montacute Lord Brogue Boots in black/charcoal. What do you think??

Looks great!

Thank and congratulate the Misses on a good night out. She'll gain a tolerance as fun comes more often while she joins you while kilted.

I had to chuckle at your post. If I called my bride of >40 years "the wife" I'd be more likely to be hit with a frying pan than have her go out with me!😉 Good looking pub outfit btw.
Cheers....

A little bit here and there will work. Did you receive any compliments from other people with her listening?

I'm surprised at the number of "better halves" discussed on XMarks who disapprove of kilt wearing. That has never been a problem with the women in my life, nor any among the fairer sex encountered while I am out and about kilted.

My experience has been that women love a man in a kilt.

Usually when I'm out with my wife and I'm in my kilt and she's dressed nice as well, her service dog and I get the compliments (usually the dog then me) and my wife might as well be invisible.

Seems just about perfect to me, both the outfit and getting out with your wife.

I think your outfit is great and just right for a night out at the pub. When I first asked my wife for a kilt for Christmas she said "you'll never wear it" even though she knew I'd wanted one for many years. I told her I would wear it for just walking the dogs etc. or for going out, but I would wear it.
She says she is happy to be with me at special events like weddings or "certain" party events (what is a certain party event?)
But she is adamant she won't go shopping or do other everyday stuff with me wearing a kilt. My daughter reckons my Mrs just needs to get used to the idea a bit more.

I've just read this out to SWMBO...

My wife says the Dog should always get the compliments first, you can guess my position in the house!!
