    First Kilt

    Well, sort of, anyway. My first was my greatkilt, but this was my first attempt at a kilt that didn't take a half hour to put on. Boy, if I had known then what I know now! It's light cotton, and I had no knowledge of pleat depth at the time, so there are 30 pleats, but they're not deep at all! I don't wear this one any more (actually, I only wore it a couple of times), but it was a good learning experiance.

    Nick,

    By and large a fairly good looking Kilt, indeed as you say a great learning experience.

    I can only hope my first try will come out as good.

    BTW you wear a kilt well.
