    Welcome from the windy city of Chicago! Nice look, I don't think that many people would mess with a guy in a kilt, and the ones that might will be put off by the axe!

    Thanks

    Hallo an thanks for your welcome.

    You ask about that (on the photo) white line here is a closer look (but other Tartan )


    I don't know in germany we call this "Webkante" may be edge ? thread ? in english ?

    If you want to see who the kiltmaker is so have a look to : http://www.syriel.de

    Next thing you recommand is a sporran , but I think that's nothing for me. I don't want to make people beliving I am a scot. I just like the feeling of a Kilt specially at these hot summer evenings.

    Best Regards
    Günter

    Thanks for that link Gunter,

    Nice to know that kilts fit my German blood too.

    A German kiltmaker sewing up Loug McLeod kilts....tell me this ain't a kilt boom?

    Looks like they offer some quality fabrics....and I'm guessing a lower price fabric that is 70% polyester and 30% Viscose. Rocky has German competition now.

    I hope the Germans do for kilts what they did for the old west.

    I love it!

    A kilt looks fine without a sporran IMHO, and often better. It's a good unfussy working look. I do without mine whenever I can (which is almost always) and wear a vest or carry a small rucksack instead.

    Welcome Günter!

    That's a good looking kilt (the white stripe at the selfedge is odd though) and you wear it like you're a natural kiltwearer...confident. Very nice!

    About wearing a sporran and other kilt accessoires....do as you please, but don't worry about what other people think.
    Whatever you do...people will think it's Scottish anyway. Can't blame 'em of course.

    I'm Dutch...I live in the Netherlands and I often hear: "oh...look..a Scotsman!" with or without sporran...c'est la vie.

    Enjoy!
