That was the first time I'd actually had a chance to try it on the way I'd wear it, and I think that it will certainly be okay at least around the house, and i think that, with belt and sporran, that I'll be okay bumming around the Oregon coast here in a few weeks.

I'll admit that I'm running into another dilemma: I wanted a very light kilt for that trip, and, with the twill I used, I certainly got it. It actually felt like I was wearing nothing at all. So, with it being as light as it was, I'm a little more worried about "Marilyn Monroe" moments than I thought I was going to be.

Question: the twill I used was fine enough that I'd seriously hurt the fabric if I used a kilt pin. I've been toying with the idea of taking it to an embroidery place and having a celtic knot or some such embroidered in its place. I'm a little worried that, were I to do so, that it would remind some of our older members of poodle skirts. Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions one way or the other?

Thanks,

Brian

I went and looked at some fabric last night and saw some material that was similar to what you are describing. Personally I wouldn't embroider anything on it. I would think it would be okay to use a "military" style pin.
