    I think PV kilts look great and are still pretty affordable. http://www.skyehighlandoutfitters.co...Kilt_Page.html Go for the 8 yarder if you are concerned with looking sharp. My 4 yard casual gets some nice comments, but looks and acts pretty casual too. It is a little on the lighter weight side as well and you might want to consider 16 oz wool. I'm a thin guy as well, 37.5" hips and the nice thing about it is that a little yardage can go a long way. It's a little dearer, but consider this: http://www.usakilts.com/store/5yardwool_kiltpage.php

    having had to wear those boots for over a year at a job once, i can say that they are not very comfy. If youre a noodle, them boots may look a bit heavy. Just my 2 cents

    If at all possible, get measured and fitted for the kilt by somebody who knows what they're talking about. Any of the sponsors (whose logos appear above) can help you with the measuring part. Regardless of your size, if the kilt fits, it looks and feels much better.


    By the way, the "kilt police" all took early retirement. Budget cuts, you know...

    When given a choice, most people will choose.

    Thank you all for the posts...

    I am going to start to check out some of the other Kilt vendors mentioned here.

    BTW, Here is a pic of myself.... Not too scrawny, but Im not going to win Mr. Universe bodybuilding contest anytime soon either.

    On the confidence note: I completely understand what you mean. I have a pink flowery shirt 70's style that I wear with some calvin clien jeans. At first my male friends made fun of me.... then we got to the club and the girls couldnt keep their hands off me. The shirt [or kilt] doesnt wear you... you wear the kilt.



    My budget is about $400 US give or take... not counting the shoes.
