Allow me to be the first to welcome you to the board. You can not go wrong getting advice from the guys here about purchasing a kilt. Unless you are looking for a tank (a full 8 yard traditional wool kilt) my advice is either Rocky at USA kilts or Bear at Bear kilts. You can't go wrong with either. I don't know much about the modern non-tartaned kilts, because I've never had an intertest in them.
