    after reading their site a little more,
    I'm thinking that a Sport Kilt might be a good choice for my first Kilt.
    seems i can leave off the Straps altogether and use their Velcro closure, add a Kilt belt and i should be good to go. additionally, the price will be something that i can handle. (not working just now)

    as with everything I've done in my life i can see me owning a great many Kilts in very short order.

    when i took up Paintball, i was hooked instantly and owned 20 some odd paintball guns in about a month lol.

    I have never done it but can I take it that whatever "paint" is used doesn't end up permanently damaging and marking clothing?

    well the term "Paintball" is a little misleading.
    once upon a time the balls were filled with real oil based house paint,
    but they were actually meant for marking cattle at stock yards or trees to be felled when logging.

    but once shooting them at each other became a sport,
    the mix changed.
    the paint, referred to as "fill" is a mix of Etheline Glycol (found in Cough Medicine) corn starch and food colouring.
    you can actually eat them and they wont hurt you, but don't try it, there is a chemical added so they taste horrible!
    (so your toddler doesn't think it's a bag of candy should he get hold of your Paintballs)

    Welcome from BC. Sport kilt will likely make you a good first kilt, but why not support your neighbor and a fine Canadian kiltmaker. MacHummell of www.Canadiancasualkilts.com will make you a very nice kilt that you will be proud to wear for years.

    oh i plan to,
    and i have their website book marked.
    just that at this time I'm not working and living on a very fixed budget.
    My own business fail in August 2005 and I'm only now finishing off my debt load.
    a Sport Kilt seems to be a good place to start and well within my budget.
    add to this i do have some special needs that the SK's Velcro closure will address.

    remember Roma was not built in a day!
    (it took a long weekend and 4 cases of beer!)
    :soda:
    oddly enough, I'm Canadian and I don't like beer.
    but I do want and Love Firearms!
    beginning to think i might be a displaced American...
    after all i was adopted as an infant lol.
