Hello to all - I am astonished by the wealth of information that's available on this site. Not to mention all the links that connect to even MORE information, and the fine folks who make a variety of kilts and accessories... I have considered getting a kilt for almost 25 years, and thought I simply needed to decide on a tartan for my first kilt.

But after a couple of days of intensive reading on this site, I now need to decide on knife pleat vs box pleat vs (reverse?) Kingussie vs... I'll continue to read the various threads in the forums, and get a more informed idea for my first kilt.

I'll certainly take a closer look at the kilts being worn at the next games I attend (Richmond Highland Games in October), and talk with people regarding their kilt, why they chose that particular style, etc. Many thanks to all the contributors on this site - it's a great resource for newbies like me!
