Before my son was born in February last year I bought an inexpensive lightweight infant kilt off ebay---I don't even remember the vendor, but it was only about $30 US shipped from Scotland. It is made of lightweight small sett tartan, PV presumably 8 or 11 oz tartan. It closes with velcro at the waist and has a black satin waistband and hemmed bottom edge. Manufactured by "Theres More to Tartan" and lists a website www.trewscot.co.uk. He has worn it many time from 2 weeks of age to now 15 months, and it still fits and functions well. So I thought I would I would review it for others who might be considering a similar purchase for a new loved one.

I can't get away with the jacobite shirt look as well as the boy can. Unfortunatley finding belt, sporran, and kilt pin appropriately sized for the boy is a bit of a challenge so we just do without---they would also be a bit more fuss than the young'un could take. Also tough to find appropriately sized kilt socks once he hit about 6 months old but should be growing into the pairs I have already bought for him soon. He prefers flat caps to tam's---balmorals and glengarry's are tough to come by in super small sizes.

Just to let you know I am not fishing for compliments or anything. Thought I was probably not the only member out there who had a little one they might want to kilt up early who could appreciate a positive review of a budget priced but functional option.
