For me it was a sort of odd thing. Two years ago I got interested in bagpipe music. For Valentines day that year my wife bought me a Set of Great highland Pipes. That Iv'e been fiddeling with ever sence. I still cant play them very well. Mostly becouse I cant find a teacher here. Well last year I thought that for St.Patrick's Day It would be fun to Make and Wear a kilt. So the day before I went down to the local fabric store and bought some Plad fabrick.
Looked on the internet for kilt paterns. And that night my wife and I spent about six hrs making my first kilt. It was not the most wonderfull kilt ever made.But we were impressed with it and so I wore I proudly to the St Pady's Party. At first I was the only one in a Kilt. The another guy went and put on his great kilt. It was a smashing good time ane the kilt was very comfy. The next week I found the Breavehearts Kilt forum. Now I wear a kilt whenever and wear ever I can.
I think the thing that realy made me want to wear one was this sight. http://users.tinyonline.co.uk/chegc/kiltsite/kilt.htm
