    My First Kilt!!!

    Hello all,

    My Name is Bert and Just received my first kilt/accessories in the mail today.

    Still water Kilts: Irish National Tartan Economy kilt, basic black sporran, socks and flashes. (wish i would have bought a nicer sporran).
    Awesome kilt, I did not expect for the price I paid, for it to be this nice. (not that i have a whole lot of knowledge) but it seems very well built.

    This Kilt was going to be for events:St. Patrick's day, Renascence Fair and things like that......But after wearing it around today, I know this will not only be just for special events.

    I Live in Michigan and have a true american hodgepodge of a background (Scottish, Irish, German and I am sure there will be more if i continue farther back).

    I have learned a lot for this site in the last couple of days and look forward to having some fun in a kilt.

    Congratulations. Welcome from the highlands of Central Massachusetts. It is unlikely that we will cross paths so you better post pics so we know how you put it together. Cheers! Enjoy.

    Welcome from another XMarks newbie, Bert!
    As people say round here, "if there are no pics, it didn't happen!" - so whip your kilt on and get someone to snap some evidence, laddie!

    This is total hypocrisy on my part, BTW, as my own first kilt arrived a couple of days ago and I still haven't got round to taking photos yet...

    Welcome to the Great Rabble from the UK!
