    Never have worn a kilt

    Just ordered my first kilt from USA Kilts. It is in Fermanagh Crest tartan. It is the tartan of my family from Ireland (most southern and western county in Ulster). Looking for the do's and don'ts of wearing a kilt.
    Here is why I ordered it: I am a flintlock rifle shooter (think 1700's). I want to portray a "long hunter" of Irish descent who is hunting for furs to sell to the 13 colonies. While not probably historically correct I will be wearing moccasins, kilt, waistcoat over shirt, leggings and a Olive Green Balmoral. I will mostly wear it at muzzleloader shooting events in my area every month and to the large regional Highland Games held in my town every June.
    If you are familiar with Irish kilts I am looking for some help as a beginner kilt wearer. If not familiar with Irish kilts still looking for the basic do's and don'ts.
    No suggestion is too basic as I have said I have no real knowledge and want to wear it proudly but more importantly correctly.
    Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
    When kilt arrives in a couple of months I will post pictures of my "long hunter" outfit including my beautiful longrifle, pistol, tomahawk and scalping knife.
    Please see attached colored drawing of the persona I am striving for only with an Irish twist.Highlander in leggins.jpg
