Having been wearing the kilt since '84, I have worn both sewn and self pleated (small kilt). The more yardage in the kilt, the better it will hang and sway. I prefer pleat to sett, but knife is worn with small kilts.

I still have my first two, but they have been let out. You will grow out in your mid thirties. God's gift.

Remember to shop around. You can be taken easily.

Yes there is a wait, if the tailor is quite good. Six months at the least.

I have both black and brown sporrans. Make sure the belt and shoes match.

White Hoses for Evening Wear. Get your garter to highlight a color (not the main color) from your kilt.

I would get a Day Wear Jacket first and then the Prince Charlie later. A Argyll with a Waist Coat (Vest) is just as formal as a Prince Charlie.

I would feel naked without a Black Knife.

Remember the kilt is the base for everything else.
