Welcome, Plenty of advise to be found here. Xmarks is a wealth of great information on all things kilt related. Be sure and post about your first outings. We all enjoy reading about new kilties first experiences with the public.
Welcome from Ohio! Congrats on your new kilt. Wear it with pride. To quote Hamish "you don't have to be Scottish to be comfortable." There are many non-clan tartans available including Canadian provences and a really sharp Maple leaf (not the team). Check out the Scottish Tartan museum.
I have the olive drab Sport Kilt as well and am really enjoying it (though I'm finding that I do need to iron the pleats fairly often to keep them looking nice. Other than that I have found it the most comfortable of my kilts.
If you are looking for a good place to start for accessories that aren't going to break the bank I highly recommend www.stillwaterkilts.com
Read, Post, Have Fun!

Actually X Marker, Sorcerer Dale wrote that.
I believe Hamish is quoted as saying:
"nonsense anyone can wear a kilt"
Both are good bits of advice.

I'll probably eventually get a tartan kilt, either Maple Leaf or Ontario, which I stumbled across a couple days ago. I just need to find a kiltmaker in Canada who sells those. Should be doable, but for now I need to figure out how to where my first one.
It IS quite the addiction though; I've already got a second picked out for order.
