Advice Needed For First Kilt.

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

Go for a traditional, hand stitched, three strap kilt. I just recycled a 40 year old kilt to another X Marker, and by my guess it's got another 25 years left in it if the new owner doesn't set himself on fire. The advantage of a traditional kilt is that it will always look good whether you are in white tie at your daughter's wedding, or sitting around a campfire out in the boondocks with your boys.
A traditional kilt looks fine with a kilt jack or short sleeve shirt. It literally can go anywhere and hold its own with the best of them.
If you find you really like wearing a kilt, then by all means get yourself a casual kilt or two. The size of your wardrobe is up to you.
In my opinion you should always start out with the best, and then branch out if you feel like it.

One last word of advice: Go to the kilt maker and be properly measured for your first kilt.
