Welcome. Strap yourself in and hang on - it's a fun ride.

Welcome Ian from about 2 hours away. I find your background interesting, especially the western NC angle. In that part of the state your family name shows up in marriage records with my family, the Austins. So a big welcome to you.

Greetings & Holiday Salutations! Nice to have another Southern gent aboard.

Welcome Ian,

My daughter was born in Raleigh. Was a Raleigh cop back in the late 60s...not fun times, burning crosses, MLK riots, et.al. Beautiful country.

There's a new thread on kilt advice about kilts for camping.

I own three Utilikilt Survivals. Saved some money on the last by buying off the scratch and dent rack. If you're lucky your size will be there. It is expensive, but I gotta tell you, the value is solid.

Another advantage of the survival is you can unsnap the cargo pockets and have a sort of dress casual kilt, looks a lot like the mocker.

There are a lot of pics of casual kilts, including the UK survival, in my gallery. Feel free to check them out.

Ian,

Welcome! Used to live in Raleigh myself, and interestingly enough, I was in consulting and one of my accountw was IBM in RTP, specifically the preload labs. Do you live out in the Durham/Chapel Hill area, or more toward the Raleigh side?

Welcome back Ian.

I'm glad to hear that you're seeing random kilted guys in your area. California is usually where social trends begin, but the kilt-thing is coming on very slowly here.

Welcome back, from someone who arrived here after you left, but before you joined again.
