I give up

That's alright Alan. He may be a nice enough guy, but it doesn't sound like he has quite the stones to wear a kilt, and with that lack goes the NEED to wear a kilt.

Just keep reminding him about approaching Highland Games and Renfairs and other places where wearing a kilt might seem more normal. Maybe once he's out in a time or two he'll feel more comfortable.

Honestly, I have gotten so annoyed about all this....see, I spent quite some time helping him find the "right" first kilt....that if he doesn't have the cajones to WEAR the bloody thing, maybe I ought to just buy it from him.

After all, it's in pristine condition...hardly ever been worn.

Alan, my friend your enthusiam for kilts (and life in general) is admirable.

As you well know, there are some people out there who have a certain comfort zone and aren't happy moving out from it. If you got your friend into a kilt and at a Highland game enjoying himself then you did well. If that is his comfort zone you need to respect it and encourage him to join the Nor Cal Rabble at the games and have even more fun. Maybe one day he will expand his comfort zone, but that is something that he has to do himself.

If his kilt and kit is worn well and enjoyed only a few times a year then let him enjoy it his way.

Not everybody can be a Panache after all.

Cheers

Thanks! I'd hate to be boring!

The thing is, he doesn't wear it AT ALL, and it's been, I think two years, now? Mind you, this is just a rant at the end of a long day where I spent many hours in the server room with cold air blowing up my pleats. I perfectly well realize that he's got every right in the world to buy a kilt and not wear it if he doesn't want to!

Not everybody can be a Panache after all.

There IS NO OTHER Panache!
