    Just ordered my first kilt......

    As the title says ..... super excited!!! I ordered a 'full' length 16 oz in MacTavish (1439) Modern. Only got three months to wait!!!

    Ordered from a e-retailer back home (Scotland) that's a friend of my aunt, she's been really helpful so far.

    Sorry, needed to get that off my chest.

    My name's Andrew Thomson, I currently live in Japan but I am originally from Edinburgh, Scotland.

    Andrew. Hajime-mashte, dozo yoroshku..... and welcome to X Marks from West Sussex!

    Honto ni sumi-masen - nihongo wa hanase-masen..... so I'll continue in English!!

    When you tell us that you have "....ordered a "full length" 16oz..." I hope you mean an 8 yarder, not floor length!! Three months, eh? Well it does seem a long wait but, at least, you should have it in time to help celebrate St. Andrew's Day.

    Mo ikanakereba nari-masen.

    ki o tskete!

    Is this a full length kilt?

    Hamish, your Japanese is far better than mine!!!!! I may be a decent (matter of opinion ) instructor but am a terrible and lazy student! However:

    Hajime mashite, Andy desu. Dozo yoroshiku!!!!

    Full length as in 9 yards - I seem to have a big bum to go with big rest of me! The tartan needs woven hence the hold up (suppodedly 8 weeks for that alone) maybe there is some Scotty Syndrome over estimation going on there but I guess I can wait ...... it'll give me time to decide on the rest of my gear (sporran, belt etc) as well.

    Came to this site through Freelander Sporrans, which I am considering buying but I may get a "dressier" one for my first one though and pick up a Freelander next year .... so many decisions!!! I thought the nightmare I had picking a tartan was bad enough!

    Rex, I'm tall (around 6'4") but that kilt may just be a little too long.

    Thanks for the welcome.
