A Step In The Right Direction

[staticsan]

Recently, I purchased a Stewart Black tartan kilt from SWK. I love it! When I brought the subject up to my mother, she said she would like to see it. Not just see it, but see me in it! I think she is coming around. Now, if I could get others in my family to open their minds...

That sounds encouraging. I suspect it's my mother who will be my biggest discouragement, although my ex-wife would be, too, if we were still together. However, my mother is very fond of her ancestry so that's why I chose a MacGregor tartan for kilt #2 (though she doesn't even know about the first one, yet).

Wade.

yours is an uphill battle that a great many of us are still fighting. I wish you the very best in winning this war of the kilts!

Aye! Kilted, and united we fight, eh?

Help fight trouser tyranny! Don a kilt!

Sounds like your Mom might be coming around already. I think we all know someone who is less-than-supportive or down-right discouraging about our apparel choices. Who asked 'em?

I am in a similar situation. I am from a down in the hills old country family. I haven't told anyone in my family about my kilt yet. To be honest, my father would probably almost disown me. My mother would be the most understanding. My biggest worry isn't what they would say, but what the think. I could care less what most people think. They are my family, and I do care.

It sounds like you are doing well in this movement. I believe your Mom, like mine, will become proud to see her son in a kilt, especially in public. Good luck.
