New Blood (Kilter)
Hello all,
I was just at the VA Rennfair with myself and my son clad in kilts (my son is my profile picture.) I had on a costume kilt, my son had a much more classy (but also costumy) kilt, but the colors are not family.
I absolutely love wearing kilts, and my wife thinks the suit me so bonus there. But my wardrobe is VERY shy.
I am looking for pointers on where to get, and let me use words carefully, inexpensive (vice cheap) starters.
I have a good looking belt to go with my casual khaki kilt, a hand made (crudely by me) sporan...and my Government Issue Tan boots (Active Duty Air Force here.)
I am hoping to get the Air Force Kilt (http://www.sportkilt.com/product/135...-Kilt-(U).html)
And eventually to get a matching set of Kilts for my son and I in the Irish Cork pattern (my family is Irish/Welsh...which brings up a point I will address in a bit)
Do I need:
Special Socks
Special Shoes
Special xyz...
I am still learning all the terms and history for things as I have found on day 1 of wearing a kilt....people ask tons of questions and expect you to know the answer :P
Any help for a newbie would be great
Also...my mother in law is Scottish....that's it. I am a fighting Irish-Englishman.......am I even ALLOWED to be wearing a Kilt? The full tartan is just so.....cumbersome! HA!
