First Attempt

[Plaid Draftsman]

Here is my first attempt at donning my kilt. Any and all comments and critiques are welcome.
Tough to tell from the picture but the kilt is at top of knee height.
Hope to get a sporran soon.
I must say this thing is extremely comfortable.


Thanks in advance.

Looks great except for one major, glaring, error!




Tie the shoelaces! ;)

Yep, at least you put the pleats to the rear. A sporran, and a belt will be very smart looking.

Looks good to me, Scott.

Now it begins - The eternal hunt for accessories!

Chas - I know what you mean driving my wife nuts already looking for accessories.

The vendors here would be more than happy to help you choose a belt and sporran. Lots of variety in terms of style and price point. You can get attractive, good quality accessories without breaking the bank. A couple of the suppliers have recently come out with practical, value-priced sporrans in the last few months that would go well with your kilt. Looks good by the way.

Looks good! One of the cool thinks about the kilt you will find is that there are few hard amd fast rules..I am wearing my forest green with a short sleeve khaki shirt, and getting dirty looks from Navy types...lol...

Just don't wear a lot of metal things on collar or shoulders and the Navy types will shut up -- despite the black-&-tan undress uniforms. (I don't like them; not nautical enough. Looks like wardroom stewards instead of deck sailors.) As will those Navy types in their peachy new digital blue camo, which seems to be worn on the assumption that even if you do fall overboard, you're not going to be easy to see among the waves anyway without a flashing light or something.

In what seems like another life, my first naval duty station was a multiservice "A" school in Monterey CA -- when the Army still had a khaki uniform order. Until I learned to watch for just how much metal was winking from the army guys' shoulders -- officers have more, plus the metal on the cap -- my right hand kept going twitch, twitch, twitch. Navy all-khaki is worn by chief petty officers and above.

Nope, no kilts, not even then, not there.
