Just new to kilt wearing this month. I belong to the Hibernians and transfered to a new division about 6 years ago. At the time there were about 5 or 6 members who wore kilts to meetings and events like parades and fundraisers or festivals. I liked the look but didn't think I could pull it off at 285 pounds. Last year at Christmas I had lost about 45 pounds of that and decided that there were other guys bigger than me that could do it so I was finally ready. My wife asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I told her that I wanted a kilt. Her only stipulation was that I order a good one and we would split the costs of outfitting me. After a month of research I finally ordered an 8yd - 16oz Balmoral in the MacDonald tartan since some of my research showed that the Kelly tartan was either the same or based on the MacDonald. It just came this week and our division has about 30 kilt wearers now.
I also broke down and bought one from Stillwater Kilts prior to St. Patrick's Day so that I had something to wear for those events. I loved the comfort and regret not going there sooner. It also helped that the ladies love a man in a kilt (just don't tell my wife that I liked that part).
It's not part of my everyday dress yet but I know that it will be creeping in to more daily activities.

Thanks for this site - It's great.
