Hi
I've just become interested in wearing the kilt cos i think they look very smart so i thought i'd join this site even though im not scottish,is that ok, I was up at ferintosh hotel last week and pour1malt sort of got me interested and his wife got me into reading Rabbie Burns stuff and listening to the group Scocha, a Glaswegian family took me under there wing when i was a nipper so i could class as an adopted scot even though im English & Proud but need some bottle to wear a kilt down here.
Are the kilts you can get on Ebay any good or which kilt would i be best getting for my first one.

 from Hawick, the home town of Scocha,in the Scottish Borders.
No need to be Scottish to wear a kilt.
The cheap lightweight polycotton and acrylic kilts at £19.99 on e-bay are OK for around the house and garden and going to the shops but wouldn't really look good for a more formal occasion - that said I have worn a polycotton kilt to dinner in an English hotel during a heatwave and it was very comfortable and didn't attract any comments.

You are more than welcome here Scottish or no.
As far as ebay kilts I have never ordered one from any ebay seller. I do like to go into my local Tartan/Kilt shop for a kilt or talk to my kilt maker, that seems to work for me, in that way I get exactly what I want.

Welcome. Check out some of the ads on top of this forum.
Also, I am not Scottish either, as you can see from my signature line below.
DALE.
You don't have to be Scottish to be comfortable!

from coastal North Carolina. I can recommend Stillwater for a first kilt or two.

Welcome to the fray, from Colorado Springs!
And to echo the sentiment of many here, You don't need to be Scottish to wear a Kilt. I've been able to trace my ancestry back to Germany, Poland, and Yorkshire, but I still proudly wear a Kilt.

from Edinburgh. As the welcome screen says you don't need to be Scottish just daft about kilt-wearing.
