I had never really thought about kilts until last summer. I was in a local production of Brigadoon, which is set in the Highlands, and that got me started, which is kind of funny, because I played Tommy, and American, who is one to two guys in the whole show who never wear a kilt.

At any rate, our choreographer was a competitive Highland dancer, and we got to be friends. I'm taking her Highland dance class at my university, and will be performing this summer.

I've got three kilt. My first I made, it's cotton in Black Watch, but I don't wear it much. My second turned out better, it's solid black 10oz. duc cloth, and I wear it at least once a week. My other is a great kilt, in MacLeod. I've got a Utilikilt on the way, too.
