My 1st kilt wearing outside of Scottish Games

[frank_a]

I bought my 1st kilt from Highland Kilt Company at last weeks Scottish Games in Altamont, NY. They had a bunch of them priced below 100 bucks, so right in my range. I got one that is close to Black Watch, though I'm not sure it is exactly. I need to do more research. I hope within the next month to get a semi-traditional kilt in Ancient Campbell from USA Kilts. But for right now, it was simply a matter of getting up nerve to wear my kilt, so off to get gas for the pick-up and then Lowe's for replacement window glass. You could say I was casual, but that's only because all I have right now is a kilt. The sporran belt that came with the kilt is way too large, so that needs help. Plus I need to get some hose next I guess, and maybe a big black belt with a Campbell buckle. That needs to wait till I get a more traditional kilt. Until then, this is what I'm wearing, and will continue to wear for casual use.





Hope all you good lads and lassies are having a great day!

Quite smart. You are on your way! Congratulations.

Thank you sir. I am glad I had the nerve to do it. You see, my wife is gone for the day, and that made it easier... Basically, now that I have been out for normal weekend stuff, I'll keep it on. In the meantime, I need to get ready to order a custom kilt. Should have the cash in a month. It's hard being Scottish, tight with the dollar, and buying kilt wear!

Looks very comfortable to me. Congrats!

Thank you Pipersson. I've wanted a kilt for a long time, but I'm cheap. As I get older, I have decided to indulge myself a wee bit!

Very good plan!
We should try to do whatever pleases us as long as we can...and therefore as soon as we can :-)

[frank_a]

Great philosophy Pipersson. I'm coming to it late...

Frank

[Pipersson]

Maybe later but not too late....every day is a benefit... :-)
Never too late to care for yourself and to be aware that you deserve to be good to yourself!

If the sporran belt is too large, as is often the case, and it has a chain, it is simple to open the links and create the proper length.

Ah yes, I emailed the company I got the kilt from this morning, and got a reply from them not long after. Very impressive! Thank you for thinking of me. I need to get my kilt act together!
