No, he doesn't. I wish he did. We held off and getting him anything for a while cause he grew alot from 18 months to 3 yrs. I think now it would be safe to get him a child's kilt, but money is tight, Pittsburgh Kilts is dormant, and I don't have the time or energy to make him one. Perhaps I can talk my parent's into it (again ;) ).

The wee kilt from those pics, can go to my 2nd son in a year (he's only 4 months old now).

Ian,

That is such a neat set of pictures! I am particularly fond of the sporran. Good thing that you can recycle the Kilt to your youngest, I am sure that he will look great also.

As everyone says, too cute. Looks like he's ready to start tossing the caber!!

I love to see young laddies kilted, our pipe major's son has one. He performs with the band with his toy drum and always steals the show.

How I wish I'd worn kilts from that age!! What better start in life?

Great pictures! It looks like he's working up to playing the pipes in that second one

I got my son's kilt at www.tartantown.com I think we only paid about $40 cdn for the kilt and $3 for the dancer's socks.

The kilt is PV and machine washable (great for kids). We got him a size 6 when he was 2 (hey, his daddy is 6'4 and very broad) and luckily it fit just perfect for my sister's wedding this past summer. I will either try and make him a new one or see what I can find at the Highland Games this summer (they are always full of kid's kilts). Truth be told, the only reason I ordered Blackwatch as my first kilt was to match the one I had gotten him a few months earlier (yes my son beat me to kilt wearing). We made him a fake fur sporran and some flashes.
