How old were you when you first wore a kilt?

(this will stop eventually right?)

Don't count on it...

I got my first kilt for Christmas when I was around 35 or so, I don't remember exactly, but it was pre-Scooby. At first I just wore it (SK, hunting Stewart, gathered) around the house; then walking the dog. One hot July evening, I wore it on a moonlight canoe paddle. Shortly after I got two more SportKilts of the newer and better made variety.

I started looking at instructions for making my own ten years ago or so, but it took joining the forum and finding Alan's XKilt instructions for me to actually do it. I think I need to revise my kilt count, but there's no looking back.

when I was 28, and even if it ends up being a SWK (but i really want a USAK) I vow to have my 4th useable one by my 30th bday in Feb.

My eldest son was 4, my youngest 18 months, though it is a bit big on him still.

After several years of jonesing, I finally kilted two years ago.

I first wore a kilt on May 17, 2008 at age 29. It was a rental MacLeod that I wore on the day I did the smartest thing I've ever done. I married my lovely wife.



I've since acquired a few more kilts and had many more days kilted, but that was the best kilted day I've had.

I think I was 15. It was the early 1970s and I had just started playing the pipes with a band.

Sorry to say, it was late in life...age 58. But, I made it to the other side, and I'm glad!

Well I coveted a kilt of my own since I was 17; but, I was poor and under the mistaken impression that I lacked any verifiable celtic ancestry, on top of the fact that I had no idea where to buy a "real" (masculine) one. Once 2/3 of those obstacles were overcome, I was kilted within a month... A gift from my wife&family. That was last spring. If memory serves, however, I wrapped a piper's regimental Royal Stewart kilt about myself when I was 18yo at Old Fort Henry, in Kingston, Ontario (although that doesn't really count since it was never buckled and worn).

49, wanted to all my life, but got the chance when I was 49. Now.....6 kilts later.

[CalMcGuire]

18. Last year I finally decided to try the kilt. So I wore it to my Senior prom.

we're bound to have some cad say he was BORN wearing one!

Well, I plan to put my next baby in this (waist size 15)



As his first outfit...unless it's a girl, then we'll loose the sporran, tie, and waistcoat.
