    Thank you for the ideas, Alen. Although I may not make use of all of them, I may refer to some of them later for ideas. That will probably end up being the case too, because I'm new to the kilting experience and maybe build a small, but diverse collection over time.

    Thank you for the kind words Joe; I as long as we carry ourselves about in a respectful manner, I think we could provide some positive PR, even when improvising here and there. Still, I believe that function should be first, comfort should be second (although this usually compliments function), in fashion should be third in the order of importance; even with being the least important in my book, I still try to remain conscious of my aim to represent kilts in a socially acceptable way. Oh, and how could I forget - have fun and enjoy the freedom!

    John - you got it! Like I said, once my sporran comes in, I'll post more pics. The Jonesing at this point is almost unbearable.

    At this point Mike, I find my interest particularly biased toward contemporary/casual wear, but I admit more time I spend on XMTS, the more I become fascinated by the other styles. I've grown especially fascinated with the great kilt because of its basic, yet functional use. Never in my life did I know that a large blanket could serve so many purposes. I've learned a lot from the short amount of time I've been lurking and active on here; it's great!

    Clockwork ,

    Keep on keeping on ! I too like the contempoary/casual wear .

    I was raised around my Scottish family ( they were imigrants, I'm 2nd generation American, my grandparents and the rest from Scotland ) and have great appreciation and respect for the traditional side , however , I also like the contemporary / casual style . I wear both and like both looks .

    I've only been a member here since Feb ( been kilted way longer ) and have found that everyone here are good folks , some may be passionate in their opinions but that's okay and a good thing . Also , as you have stated , there is always something to learn here . That is true, no matter who you are or how long one has been a kiltie !

    Welcome to the rabble and welcome to the Jonesing ! Currently Jonesing myself , over a particular rustic / casual kilt belt on order !

    Best to ya , Mike
