My name is Kevin and I live the Denver area. I've been perusing the board daily for a couple of weeks now and thought I would jump in to say, "Hey". Seems like there are a few other members who live in the area as well. That's comforting to know.

I should be officially kilted within days. A Stillwater Standard in Royal Stewart should hit my porch soon and I am having a 5 Yard casual made by e-Kilts in Manx Hunting, that should be here by the end of October. I have been preparing myself for the adventure of kilted life by taking in the valuable insights you all have. I enjoy reading your posts and have learned plenty. I've had a few good laughs as well. Your wealth of knowledge, reviews, experiences and opinions have helped me in ordering my kilts and accessories, and answering many questions I've had. Good stuff!

I really appreciate the way this board is managed and the overall maturity and class of those who post here. My interest is really just in the classic kilt rather than other MUGs, as my Manx heritage is one of the reasons I am exploring kiltdom.

My wife is all for me wearing the kilt and thinks it quite manly. So, I have the support needed there to my advantage. Hope to check in and maybe post a pic or two once the kilts arrive. Be Blessed!

Welcome, Kevin! I must say that you are the first person of Manx heritage I have met! :mrgreen: I've always had an interest in the Isle of Man; it never seems to get the "press" that some of its Celtic "sisters" do, and as a "flag buff" (vexillologist), I've always liked the IoM's flag.

Cheers,

Todd

Kevin,

Great to have you on the forum.
I have been wanting to visit the Isle of man since
I first saw Waking Ned Devine.
A hearty welcome to you.

Not to go off-topic here, but I believe the IoM has been used as a shooting location for a number of "Celtic" movies, including The Brylcreem Boys, which is one of my favourite "unknown" movies.

I just thought I'd jump in and say welcome from someone who isn't one of the moderators, just so it doesn't seem like that's all who are here.

**jfellrath** · 5th October 05, 06:52 AM

Welcome aboard! I hadn't ever seen the Manx Hunting before but just looked it up and I like the look of it a lot! Please post some pics once it arrives!

**GMan** · 5th October 05, 07:39 AM

Alright! another kilted gent from the Denver area!
Boy are we going to rock now!
WELCOME

**Andrew Breecher** · 5th October 05, 08:42 AM

The Manx hunting looks gorgeous. I'd love to see photos of that kilt when you get it.

Andrew.

**KiltedManxman** · 5th October 05, 09:14 AM

Wow! Thanks for the warm welcome, all. So, GMan, you have a coffee shop in the area? Tell me about it as I would like to visit sometime. Are there kilt nights going on in Denver?

And yes, I like the Manx Hunting - pretty sharp. There are some other very nice Manx tartans as well. My father has been to IOM twice, but I have yet to go. We have done extensive work on our genealogy there. There are a couple of Scots on both of my parentes lines (McCormack & Smith), but I am much more Manx and English than anything. That gives me quite a slection of tartans, if one feels compelled to wear only what he has a "right" to. I just happen to like the tartans that are asscoiated with my heritage.
