    A Montanan Here

    Been lurking around X Marks for a year or two. But now I'm looking to actually get an actual kilt, so figured I'd better introduce myself.

    Jacob from Northwest Montana: 19 years of age, Christian, autodidact, polymath, volunteer anything, nerd, and outdoorsman.

    I've greatly appreciate this website, it's been very useful as I learn about kilts.

    Right now, my interest is just in getting a kilt, sporran, and belt. I'll probably end up getting the rest of the formal wear someday, but can't afford it right now. So I'll go with the kilt+shirt+hose+hiking boots look. And maybe a flat cap...

    Best regards,
    Jacob

    Kiltman, Unfortunately, I'm more jack of all and master of none. (Read "I can't pick one field!") So I don't have a whole heck of a lot of wisdom to impart.

    BoldHighlander, Well, MacFie Hunting would be my first choice, but I can't afford a kilt in my size in that unusual of a tartan right now. So, I'm in the market for anything my size... 29" waist kilts seem hard to find.

    Maybe I need to learn to sew.

    Hi, Jacob, and welcome to XMTS from the bottom end of Africa.
    It seems we have a lot in common. My friends sometimes call me the fount of useless information
    Great idea about getting a kilt and sporran. Belt too, maybe. But I would suggest lay off the flat cap and wait until you can afford a proper bonnet (balmoral, glengarry or tam o’shanter).
    Regards,
    Mike
