Kilted in Fredericksburg, TX (on vacation)

[MinusHD]

I was a safe distance from home for my first (very) casual kilted evening on the town. We took a motorcycle trip to the Texas Hill Country over a long weekend and some friends insisted on getting a few pictures before dinner. No, I didn't ride in the kilt... yet.

This is the basic Original Sport Kilt in the All Ireland Tartan (my wife's family is Irish) with a budget sporran, and a sold black polo style shirt. I realize the wide black belt doesn't match my current brown riding boots... I could only pack so much on the bike, so cut me some slack there.

I think the kilt is a little high on the knee and a little low on the waist, but for an inexpensive off-the-rack introductory experiment... it is what it is. I'm sure some of the purists on the forums will be able to offer plenty of great advice to help guide me down this path.

After overcoming the initial nervousness I thoroughly enjoyed the comfort afforded by the kilt. After all, I went "regimental"... gotta do that part right, eh?

I'm still learning, and I plan to acquire a more traditional kilt in the future. I just wanted to share my first experience on this board.



Happy Kilting!
