I had my initiation to the kilt at Halloween and enjoyed the experience enough that I have one on order. The kilt was a rental wool 8 yd. 13 oz. Scottish National tartan. It was comfortable and I didn't have to pull it up periodically like I have to do with trousers. It was also windy outside and I had no problem with lifting. I got a number of compliments - "cool", "looks good". Also had the question - "undertand that nothing is worn underneath" - Answer: " I guess some do". A couple of pictures are on flickr 'Gord's Photos' under people. I enjoy this site very much and look forward to wearing the kilt at Celtic and family events.

from another Toronto member, if you are interested, we have kilt nights all the time in and around Toronto, do a search in the kilt night section for SOKS

McMurdo - thanks for the welcome. I tried the SOKS search without success. I live in Etobicoke so perhaps you could outline a few places in the west end for me. There was a place called TOKS and a list of similar establishments that I did find. Thanks.
