Making headway w/ the hubby & his kilt YEAH!!! Baby steps...

Got pretty fortunate to find a pair of basic brown leather Brahma boots @ Walmart for $19.99. He's worn many versions of Brahma steel toes for work & this is just a decent pair w/out the steel toes. We also both put a lot of miles on some Brahmas many years ago when we volunteered w/ a Search & Rescue group. So, for these, we know they'll last him a decent time & be pretty comfortable for him. And of course, we couldn't beat the price.

Now, if I could find a pair of Doc Martens that fit him for the same price, no doubt, they would have been considered.

Watch ebay I paid $50.00 for pair of vintage near new 14 hole.
It was to good to pass up.

Any thoughts on that from any of you out there? Aside from being at a Highland Games or ethnic event, do you prefer tartan or sport/utility type kilts?

I have both, but I prefer utility kilts. I wear a kilt as a substitute for pants or shorts, so I don't really get all dressed up. I usually wear hiking boots with tall socks. I always feels a bit awkward when I first put it on, but it only takes a short time to feel completely comfortable.

Oddly, I think he is more comfortable wearing a plain colored one than an associated clan one.

Not sure why you consider it odd. Scottish Highlanders (the ones I've heard from) do not approve of Americans wearing kilts. So being less Highlander and more American makes sense to me.

My first kilt is in the 'district' California tartan. Are you aware USA Kilts has a Florida tartan?

Okay, it is not an 'official' state tartan, but it looks pretty good and is based on the State Seal of Florida.
