Took the plunge...

My first kilt was an SWK Black Watch heavyweight wool. It's great, especially for the price. The Australian merino wool has a great hand. Not to mention the fact that you can't beat Jerry's customer service.

If I went wool I was going to go with the Irish Saffron. Very nice colour and not something I saw on a lot of the other sites. But because of cost/investment I got one of the acrylics. I was tempted to get the flat black, but the Black Watch makes it a little more clear that it's a kilt as opposed to a skirt, which can be a concern when you go to an art school in a place as conservative as Cincinnati.

You're in Cincinnati? There are plenty of us running around in kilts. Art school? I can't imagine that anyone would think it's anything but cool.

Maybe the saffron can be your SECOND kilt. My brother has one and it looks great. And after all having only one kilt is like trying to fly with one wing.
