No pithy subject, just a comment and question

The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

I've learned a lot about the kilt and kilt wearing since I joined, and a lot about a LOT of different things. And since I'm not going to stop watching XMarks, I know I'm going to keep learning!

Before I discovered X Marks:

1. I could pronounce the word "kilt" but had no clue what it meant besides some checked cloth wrapped around some guys archibald.

Now that I've been here a year I own five kilts, have made one, am making another one, will make ANOTHER one shortly after that and was intimately involved in the process of creating and producing a new tartan.

2. Before I came to X Marks I knew that Scotland was North of England and had a pretty coastline.

Now I'm a member of a clan association, can properly pronounce the word "Culloden", know the difference between a plaid and a leine, and have attended a summers worth of Highland Games.

The list goes on............. not to mention the brothers that gather at the Devils Canyon Brewery on the last Friday of every month for kilts and Scottish Ale.

When I joined Xmarks in August, I had just ordered 2 SportKilts. I had no knowledge whatsover about diffrent kilt styles, materials, tartans, and Celtic history. While I still have a great deal to learn, I want to thank everyone hear for contributing their knowledge, opinions, and expertice.

I am disabled, so it is realatively easy for me to wear a kilt everyday. But Xmarks has given me the confidence to wear the kilt in public, anywhere.

As it has bonded men for centuries, it still bonds us today.

Welcome aboard NewKilt! As a fellow disabled kilt-wearer I can agree with you that kilts are great to wear.

I'm really glad that I'm here .Having met some of you and knowing you're here made me feel like I wasn't the only on. I'm wearing my kilts more often and continually telling people about this forum. You know what's really interesting is how many women want their guys to wear a kilt.
