just ordered my first kilt

[pbpersson]

Be sure to get a good sporran, belt, kilt pin, hose, PC....

Gee.....I was hoping to just wear a kilt instead of shorts. Can I just wear it plain?

Just exactly does a kilt pin do for you? Where does it go? Who sells them?

A UK is normally worn plain, so go for it.

Since you didn't mention what it was, the group got all accessory happy on you. Enjoy the UK

Welcome, Phil! I'm also a computer geek & 50 year old native Phoenician who started wearing a UK Original regularly 3 years ago. Me thinks we may have a few things in common... :rolleyes:

There's another 'X'er who's on regularly who's a techie here in the Valley of the Sun - Caradoc.

Sounds like the 3 of us should get together sometime, along with the owner of Arizona Kilts & my Scottish bandmate - 5 guys in kilts walkin' into a pub at the same time, folks'll think there's a Highland Games goin' on!

I'll send you a PM...

Of course I have not tried a kilt, don't know if I'll like a kilt....although you all think that once you try one, there is no turning back.

However, once I get used to my kilt I think I will need some moral support to get me out into public AND maybe if a bunch of us went on some weekend outings we could get Phoenix more accustomed to kilts.

Just a thought....

It sounds like Caradoc is in north Tempe/South Scottsdale. I am in Ahwatukee. Where are you? I work in Tempe just east of Sky Harbor Airport.

Well, my plans have totally changed. I really had second thoughts about this kilt I ordered so I called the UK people today and they said it wasn't in stock. SO......

1. Because I cannot stand to wait for anything
2. Because I will be out in the hot sun
3. Because I have a fluffy tan-colored cat and hair all over the apartment

I changed my order to a tan UK original and they are shipping it today!

And so it begins: Gotta have your fix.

Also, good to note that you've changed your plans about "wearing it for late night desert walks," as you originally stated.

Welcome from Mid-Missouri. I'm 59 and started wearing kilts 10 months ago. It's really not that hard to wear a kilt in public. Everyone usually has some concerns about it at first, but the more you wear it the more confident you become. There is all kinds of support and knowledge available here. I think a UK is a good start, and as others have mentioned, you don't need all the accessories with a UK.
