new kilt wearer in North Carolina

**Joe I** · 14th March 12, 03:00 AM

I just made my first kilt. Tartan is expensive so I made my fist one Woodland Camoflage. But I'm going to save up for tartan either American or U.S. Army. I've been wanting to wear a kilt since I read R. A. Heinlein's "Methuselah's Children" in whitch all men wear kilts.

As a fellow North Carolinian and someone also new to wearing kilts (public debut this Saturday), I bid you welcome. From my limited experience on this site, it has proved to be friendly, informative, and entertianing.

Welcome to the forum from another mil-spec kilt wearer and Wilmington native who has ended up in the mountains. Isn't NC a wonderfully diverse state?

What pattern/instructions did you use?
Are you going to debut on Saturday as well?

Awesome! I've got a buddy who will be a first-time kilt wearer on Saturday.
