Co Fermanagh from House of Edgar.

Chosen because that is where my paternal family came from.

4-yd Blackwatch PV kilt from Bear Kilts. I liked the tartan, and the price was great too. I got it about 3 years ago and I still wear it regularly.

My first kilt:I bought a hand made kilt from an old man that used to make them and sell them at "Rendezvous" (5 day camps of people living in the pre 1840's of America. Mountain men, indians, etc. VERY primative camping and living.) Sadly to say, he has passed on.
It is a wool kilt done in the old "Braveheart" tartan, 9 yards. Very thick and heavy. It is not stitched, so the pleats have to be set by hand, and takes about 20 minutes to put on with a belt and a kilt pin. But no tartan fly.

My first was a great kilt of no particular tartan. It's a lovely wool/poly blend (70/30 if I remember correctly) in a brown, tan, and white pattern. Nine yards, pleated fresh every morning.

My first was a khaki UK Mocker. It introduced me to the world of kilts. I'd seen them at the Oregon Country Fair and privately lusted after one. Last year, I got one.

My first kilt was a black standard Utilikilt clone made by my mother in law, in Brasil at my wife's request as a birthday present. The waist is too big for me, but I wear it anyways
After she made it she said NEVER AGAIN! as I think it was a pretty complicated bit of sewing :-)

My first kilt was a Buchanan. My folks bought it for my birthday when I was 14 or 15.

First kilt was technically a great kilt in Aberdeen that was woven for me (wedding present). In 2000, I bought a tank (Thomas Gordon - Montgomery tartan) while on vacation in Scotland (I spent a lot of time looking). It was only worn for special occasions then. In 2001 I bought my first UK (Olive Neo) and became a regular kilt wearer (now I'b basically in a kilt 99.9% of the time.
