Good evening/ good morning

I hope everyone is doing well. I’ve been looking on this site for a while now and have found great information to a lot of questions I had. I also found answers to questions I didn’t even know I had and have really enjoyed the historical side of things. I joined the kilted world at our wedding almost 10 years ago wearing the royal stewart tartan with my dad and brother. Last august I got my first kilt, my DKNE greenhorn, and now have dreams and ambitions of going pants free for the rest of my life. I have a second DKNE on the way and have plans to make myself and my wife our first tartan kilts out of PV that I was gifted many years ago in royal stewart. My ultimate goal is to design my own tartan based around the stewart tartan. I bet you can’t guess what my last name is?. I also have dreams of getting the great plaid, not sure what stewart tartan to get that in, one day.

Thanks to everyone in advance for all the answers, tips and knowledge I know I’m going to receive.

Welcome to the “Great Rabble”!

I have no idea what a DKNE is.

from Toronto, my mom is a Stewart and I wore Royal Stewart to my wedding some years ago, it is always a good choice. As for a Great kilt, I would steer away from Royal Stewart and perhaps focus on a large sett Hunting Stewart instead. Of course as we are talking Stewart tartan here there is a plethora of choices.

I had to look up DKNE; found DNKE! Is it the same?

It is the same and what I meant to type. Sorry for the confusion.

Welcome from Michigan!

I've got a DNKE Highlander for working on antique cars. It works for its purpose, and a certainly wouldn't change the oil on a truck in a tartan kilt. But I love my P/V kilts for normal everyday wear. The fabric drapes/falls into place much better than a utility kilt.
