Kilt Do's and Don'ts

[jeffharrison]

I did EXACTLY that (well...except for the 155 part hahaha)...my shop promised to call me when the tartan arrived and take my measurements again -- because I was working on dropping some padding that had accumulated over the years...but they didn't...and now I have a beautiful kilt that is probably an inch too large at its tightest...but who knows...5 years from now, it might be perfect again!

Don't spend $450 on your kilt, if you're going to shed 20lbs before it arrives. (Especially if it's something like 175 to 155lbs)

DON'T purchase your kilts from costume shops. Not only is the product bad, but you'll spend WAY too much.

Check out this link. They have a kilt costume kit for $250.00!!!!

Hmmm,
Roman sword and sandals on a man in a kilt wearing a tank top. NOW THAT IS DEFIANTLY PERIOD! But what period is what I'm trying to figure out.

That's late YMCA period. The Village People briefly toyed with the idea of using this guy to replace the Indian, who was considered non-pc...
