    Howdy, from Southern Illinois

    Well, I've just ordered my first kilt, it should arrive later this week. Short of starting a brawl (which my wife wouldn't approve of), or wooing bar maids (which she'd tease me for mercilessly) is there any standard act to mark one's first step into the wonderful world of kilts?

    Welcome from West Virginia!
    My first kilt arrived on St. Pat's '04. I went out for a few. Had a picture taken.
    If I might suggest... Check your wife's reaction to seeing you kilted. You may not need to leave the house.

    Congratulations on your first kilt! As far a "first step" goes I say wear it with pride!
    I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

    Welcome from Long Island, NY. Just the act of strapping it on for the first time. It's a feeling of pride you'll always remember.

    from both southern US coasts!

    I think the standard act is to breathe a sigh of relief!
