I'm sure the kilt you are getting is going to be a quality investment. I think Locharron is a reputable mill and they wouldn't want to put their mill's reputation on the line, by producing shoddy kilts.

I think on this forum, we learn how to take our new kilts, and apply them to everyday life. How to make the same kilt part of a formal outfit and a casual outfit, by utilizing different accessories. We learn about the different kinds of kilts: modern, contemporary, traditional, solid, tartan, tweed, knife pleats, box pleats...the list goes on.

There is a wealth of kilt knowledge here just waiting to be tapped. And before you know it, you'll be offering advise to someone who just bought their first kilt.

Congrats on gettting your kilt they way you wanted it.
You are right about not knowing anything before ordering a first kilt. I found this forum while searching the net to find somewhere to post complaints about the company (clan Walmart) from which I ordered my first kilt.
