    It almost seems like we need an illustrated page showing the various kilt styles and accessories...it would answer a lot of FAQ's especially from new participants.

    That's a great idea.

    Here's another one....how about an interactive kilt model. You could select tartan, hose color, shirt color, leather color, and then see what it would all look like put together. There could be a feature that allows others to cast "aye" or "nae" votes on your selection.

    Ooh, ooh (doing my best "Car 54" imitation)...we could put Hamish's face on the model....

    Yeah...That's my idea exactly. It would be really useful if it had legitimate selections. Who wears a pink jacket with a kilt?

    Thanks Guys,

    I bought three kilts for various circumstances and I'm trying to piece together all of my extras as time goes by. The only thing I'm still waiting for is the belt buckle I ordered so for now I've worn a sweater that covers that area but lays above the sporran. Friends of mine from the Hibernians who have been wearing kilts for many years all told me that it looked good. Even my wife wasn't emberassed when I wore it to a Mass and breakfast when she went with me. I'm still not quite ready for every day wear but I'm not afraid to be the only one at an event wearing a kilt.

    Thanks for a helpful community here.
    Chris

    Thanks, I feel comfortable here. Every now and then you find a site by accident that is really good.

    BTW, I like that Avatar - it has a slight statue of David feel to it. I just hope you've got a little more on below the waist.
