Surprising Kilt-Related Issue with my spouse

[Mike n NC]

And be grateful that you do have the support from the one you love.

I couldn't agree more!! Being blessed with a wife that supports me in most everything I do this isn't a problem I've encountered but this isn't the first time it has come up here. I seem to recall that the bottom line has always been "no kilt is worth a relationship".

In your slippers I would agree...for now. Casual kilts could be the topic of a discussion at a later date. Perhaps he has, to him, a sound reason for objecting. Must say though that I think him right, boots aren't really for dressing up and going out.

"not allowed "?

I agree with the rest. Get the tank! In January, you can order the casual at your leisure

A suggestion;

You might point out to him that a plain Khaki Freedom Kilt is PERFECT to wear with tartan shirts, Hawaiian shirts, tartan vests, tartan ties. Plain kilts are kinda like plain pants...they're there and let the rest of the wardrobe shine.

Or, you could remind/show him that most kilt addicts have and wear BOTH tartan kilts and plain kilts.

I'm also on the side of the "take the money and run" folks. Why look a gift kilt in the mouth??

Hi there, I was talking with my spouse (Nopadon) tonight about what I wanted for Christmas. He never can figure out what to get me so he always just asks me and then buys it.

Well, I've been thinking about getting a Khaki Casual Kilt from Freedom Kilts and I suggested that. It was like I'd run into a brick wall. He wouldn't hear of it. :confused: He loves me in kilts, and thinks I look studly (you gotta love the permanent beer goggles that love creates) in a kilt. But he thinks a kilt can only be tartan and worn in the traditional manner, which is why I'm also not allowed to wear a kilt with boots. :x

I've been informed that if I want a new kilt it's going to be a tank or nothing at all.

So this is my quandary. Do I try to press the issue and get the one I'm jonesing for, or do I take the offer to buy another incredibly expensive tank and run with it? My tanks have come from Hector Russel so they are about 4 times the cost of a Freedom Kilt.

As I write this I'm feeling rather stupid. A part of me is saying "GET ANOTHER TANK YOU FOOL!" But then I'm also thinking, "But I wanted a khaki kilt for a more casual look."

What would you guys do?

If I were you i'd push the issue and get four casuals, money talks!!
Appart from that, you must be true to yourself, go with your heart.

Well I've decided. I'm getting a Premier from Rocky at USA Kilts. I've been wanting one of his kilts so this seems like the perfect opportunity.

So now it comes down to choice of tartans. Let me know what you guys think.

One I'm thinking of is the Weathered MacKay.

I'm also considering the Blue MacKay (aka Morgan)

And even though it is more common for ladies, I'm still partial to the Strathnaver District Tartan because that is actually where my blood comes from.

I already have an Ancient MacKay which is my favorite tartan (wearing it right now).

Finally, the Clan MacKay Society of America has registered a Dress MacKay for our Clan Society but it's not in production anywhere. Which is too bad because I like it.

So what do you guys think? I'm open to suggestions. And sorry about the size of the first two tartans. Those were the best photos I could find and I'm linking to their sites.

I vote for the Weathered McKay.

Personally, I like the blue.

I agree with bubba I like the Blue MacKay
