Hello from Tallahassee, FL

**Kilt on a Cracker** · 14th March 11, 07:26 PM

Good evening to you all,

My name's Benjamin. Benjamin Thomas. I'm a mix of Scottish and Welsh, exactly half and half right down the middle. My ancestors have been in Florida for quite some time though, since well before it was a state, hence the crackerness.

My father is a Thomas of Wales and my Mother is of Clan Maxwell (Although there's plenty of MacLean on that side of the family as well), so there are kilts all around my family. Though I only have one at the moment, I still wear it as much as the wash-schedule permits. It's such a comfortable garment, and feel's so... free. If you're wearing it right that is.

I've only seen a few kilts round here in Tally, but I've been working on spreading the word. Already convinced two people I know to hop on board and wear the kilt.

Anyway, I hope to have some good conversations here!

~Benjamin

Hi, Benjamin, and welcome to X Marks from the bottom end of Africa.
Just as your family has been in Florida since before it was a state, mine has been in South Africa since its early days as a Dutch colony.
Regards,
Mike
