    Welcome!

    If you're looking to get a kilt that you can dress up with and will last you a long while, I highly recommend an 8 yard 16 oz kilt - preferably in your family tartan, if applicable. It will never go out of style.

    My father's mother was a Graham, but it's my understanding you only go with the male line, in which case, I don't have a family tartan. I wish I had a simple answer to "get the family tartan." It would certainly make decisions easier. Probably the closest I come is the Field Artillery tartan, which is a bit of a special order.

    I didn't follow that rule. On my dad's side I'm pretty much just Romanian, but I think there's some Scottish on my mom's mom's side. And I know for sure which clan my wife's family comes from, if I decided to go the marriage route.

    Go with what you like. No one will yell at you for wearing the "wrong" tartan, especially since you do have familial ties to Graham.
