Thank you gentlemen. If someone is new to kilting and this forum there is a lot of information out there that can be over whelming. Everything here can be found in various posts and threads but I suffer brain death after reading web pages for a couple of hours. If new person goes to the web they can find kilt outfits but they quickly run to $1,000 or more not unreasonable for what you get. For a new person it is hard to try and determine what is needed at the start, what should be added next and what should be the ultimate goal.

I have a number of kilts, from my father I inheirited a number of nice sporrans and I am knitting my own hose. I justt want to go back to the basics. Recently there have been a number of threads on what should be worn at a formal even. For many of us formal is taking your wife to a company party or a nice resturant for dinner. For these a nice suit and tie would work for the non-kilted and we need to remind the newbie that they don't have to have formal attire to look good. As pointed out tonight when I take my wife to dinner the nice cable sweater, will look good.

This will give someone a good idea where to start and how to progress.
