The Road to Kiltdom...

[MysticMead]

my first Kilt was a black original Utilikilt... I got it about 3 years ago and have worn it a LOT... I wear it everywhere.. until recently that is.. my wife decided that we needed to lose weight..and now it doesn't fit anymore. Soooo I ordered a new one.. this time it's a desert camo UK.. now that I have gotten everyone in town used to seeing a guy in a kilt.. I'll be ordering more kilts.. there's a couple more UKs I want.. and then there are the traditional tartan kilts I want too... being kilted is the best thing that ever happened to me

My first was a military surplus Canadian regimental kilt . . . 8 yd., 22 oz. wool. It was an affordable option before most of the other options existed (other than hand-made traditionals).

Poor thing . . . it doesn't see the outside of the closet much any more . . . too heavy for most of the year here in Texas.

My first kilt was an 8yd Ancient Forsyth hand made for me by Thomas Gordon in Glasgow in 1990. And, of course, it is still in regular use.

First, a Utilikilt black original. Next a Morrison Sportkilt (before the improvements). Now two more Utilikilts (orig. and survival) and four Stillwaters (Standards in Nightstalker, Irish National-both older really bright colors and newer darker colors, and heavyweight black Shadow Tartan.

My first was a black workman's Utilikilt (with the beergut cut). My buddy and I had seen them on Tech TV worn by Patrick Norton (now on www.dl.tv). We were poor college students, but when my buddy got hit by a truck he came into some money and bought one for himself and his two best friends. We all got the black workman's Utilikilts. I've beat the poor bastard pretty bad, so now its my work kilt (appropriate, no?).

Mine was a standard wool/synthetic blend in the Scottish National. Man I love that kilt.

Mine was a standard wool/synthetic blend in the Scottish National. Now I need about twenty more.

I am firmly in the "other" camp, not that we have that as a selection in the poll. My first kilt was a great kilt, in PV, in Black Watch (miniature sett). Last december I hacked it down into my first little kilt, somewhere in the 8-9 yard region. I've since made kilts out of camo, a generic tartan, and solid black. I'm dying to get my hands on some of Fraser and Kirkbright's 13 oz PV...
