Newbie Post and some Q's

[McFarkus]

from Rogers Park on Chicago's North side. I have two SWK heavyweights which are great, and one Thrifty in Irish National that I bought just for St. Pat's. Have had no problems with any of them. But for the wind - always wear a kilt pin. I also always wear a sporran which helps keep the kilt apron down in the wind.

I'm not fond of 'em but at least you can see how high this one goes.

Doesn't look so high for a standard kilt, or especially a military kilt. You might get a wide kilt belt, like the ones Steve Frazier makes over at Oconee Leather Works. Worn at the "true" waist (above the hips) this will make the kilt look less long.

Welcome, Inkrat!
I have 11 Utilikilts, 3 SWK, and 1 16oz. tank from Scotland. With my SWK's, 2 are Standard weight and 1 Heavyweight. I am very happy with both of those, however, the heavier is better in the wind. Here in No. Colorado it gets pretty darned windy, nothing like the city, of course, and my heavyweight with a sporran does just fine.

(BTW - I have a tattoo picture thread going, please consider popping over and sharing your ink!)
