I would like to sincerely thank all of those here whose posts helped me reach the point I could purchase a kilt and wear it proudly.

Stillwater standard nightstalker, nylon SWK sporran, overstocked SWK belt, overstock kiltpin. The kilt is great. If you look very closely, every stitch and cut isn't straight, and I can see where a custom made would hang a little better, but overall, a great buy IMO for $80. The sporran is very usable with the zippered pouches; I stole a nylon belt w/ hooks off a cooler, and it looks fine. The belt... I can't really find anything wrong w/ it, so a steal at $9, and the pin, also a great buy at $5, it looks like they used too much glue to attach the lion to the sword, but you would have to be pretty darn close to tell.

I was VERY nervous on my first time out, which was a continental breakfast at a hotel; made me realize how self-conscious I really am. Got some good comments and got used to some funny glances.

Does anyone else find themselves looking for pockets to put their hands in? Also trying to replace my wallet/keys into non-existant pockets was funny.

I almost flashed people in a strong breeze, and did in fact flash at the movie theater. I stood up quickly and when the seat back flew up, it took the rear of the kilt with it!

You WILL be wanded in airport security, and now I understand the "right foot in, left foot out" dance others have addressed. The plane ride was very comfortable, with very minimal creases in the pleats.

My over-riding thought while wearing my new kilt was, It just feels RIGHT!
