    First Kilt

    Well, it finally arrived today, so I had to try it on at work (good thing I own the joint). Stillwater standard in Black Stewart plus assorted goodies.

    Now I'm getting a jones on for one of their heavy weight kilts in the Black Watch tartan. Just the idea of this in the heavy wool here in Idaho (chilly) is gonna make me broke.

    Excellent. I think you are going to really enjoy wearing a kilt. I've got one of the Stillwater Black Watch wool heavyweights on the way, so I'm jonesing pretty bad.

    Congrats, Oswulf. I hope you get much enjoyment from wearing your new kilt.

    I'm afraid there is no cure for the kilt addiction. At least no one here bothers looking for one.

    Great look for you. I know waht you mean about their heavyweights, 'though: I've got a Black Watch standard that I love for wearing around the house and light chores-but it just doesn't have the heft to stand up to the winds we've been seeing lately here on the Front Range. Heavier wool oughta solve that issue.

    Bryan...I wear my tank(s) year 'round in comfort and modesty...

    I was kinda wondering what the local rednecks would have to say when they saw me. I run a pawnshop/gun store in a very small Idaho town so I was prepared for a ribbing at least. Only got a few outright laughs, and a couple good coments, mostly people asking if I was Scottish or was I in a parade they didn't know about. Over all pretty good though, and the comfort factor was terrific. Still, I might not have had the stones to go all day in the store with it if not from the good example of the folks here in the forum.

    I hope the wearing of the kilt continues to catch on, this is definitely something I could get used to. After the heavy weight stillwater the plan is to pick up a great kilt, I'm getting married in december and plan to wear the great kilt to that.

    Probably should rename this place kiltaholics anonymous, makes for a great support group and does absolutely nothing to cure the addiction.

    I ran into a complete redneck oneday at the post office who actually complimented me on the kilt. But he started to call it a skirt and then corrected himself. I asked him if he knew why it was called a kilt. He said that he didn't know. So I said, "Cause the last guy who called it a skirt got kilt!" He laughed very loudly, even spilled a little juice from his chew out of his mouth (rather disgusting actually).

    I would not have expected that myself, but he seemed to think it was a really cool thing.

    Great looking kilt. Yes, you will get more kilts, and hear plenty of good funny comments. It really is a nice addiction.
