    The Kilt comes tomorrow

    Greetings all,

    ...as the title says: the kilt comes tomorrow...a Stillwater Standard in the Nightstalker...I figured that Nightstalker would be a good place to start as it seems to be an "unaffiliated" tartan. I have to thank all of the participants here for all of the advice that I have picked up while "lurking"...it's helped a lot in making a decision as to how to get this kilt thing off the ground.

    My thirteen year old daughter and I are both going kilt...I've managed to find a Black Stewart in her size on ebay...we got started on this whole thing by (oh, geez, I hope this doesn't sound too crazy) watching Monarch of the Glen on the local PBS station...one thing led to another...we started going to Highland Games...it was a slippery slope!

    We have Celtic Fest here in Chicago in a couple of weeks and figured that it would be as good a place to start wearing the kilt as any...we will probably be somewhat less conspicuous at Celtic Fest than we would be anywhere else and that may help to get a comfort level going.

    I'll try to get some photos going when all is settled.

    Again, thanks to all and cheers!

    Two of my favorite sayings:

    1. Saying WELCOME and glad that you are here!

    2. Saying CONGRATULATIONS on your new kilt

    Hi and welcome!

    I've got the standard Nightstalker and it is excellent for casual wear. You'll probably have to iron it good before you wear it (Especially the apron /under-apron), and if you have it on while sitting for a long time. But I really like the look of it and also the way it wears. Make sure you try it on BEFORE you take out the basting stitches, though, because you can't exchange it if the stitching is removed. Best of luck in your kilted endeavors, and I can almost bet you'll be multi-kilted before long!

    Joe
