You've ever right to be upset. I've experienced similar feelings when dealing with detailing friend's cars. They see my truck, see how great it looks, and say, "hey, do that to my car!" I agree and explain that proper care and preventative maintenance are the key. A few days later and they're throwing their keys on the hood and sliding across the trunk of their car in blue jeans.
In my case, however, I see it as an opportunity for repeat business, despite the fact that my 8-10 hours of work on each vehicle appears to be for naught.
I'd make the guy an offer for the kilt. If it's truly not his thing, he'll take the offer, and you've got a new kilt.
Perhaps he really liked the idea of being kilted, but he took flak from the wife, or decided it wasn't as comfortable as he was hoping. (It is a bit weird wearing a garment so high when you're used to wearing pants so low.) Or perhaps he hasn't the cojones. More power to you and all the other kilties around.
