Saturday had an extended family festival to celebrate the day, and the families heritage in Ireland, Scotland, & Wales.

So I strapped on the kilt for the first time in several years, and I must admit it felt wonderful, but. . .had to have my wife's help to strap it on for to my surprise, it barely fit. The only way to hold the kilt up was suspenders for my belt was to small as was the small belt for my sporran, but the vest covered the suspenders so that was okay. I'd way out grown my Prince Charlie, but a tux coat I'd got at a sale a few years ago fit, just didn't have the tailoring or look of the PC. Also surprised that my kilt was now at the bottom of my knee caps, so I've lost some height, bummer!!!

However, my legs didn't swell as bad as I thought from the garters and hose, which was great. Now, just have to drop about 50 lbs. This might be a problem!

All in all, it was nice to strap on the kilt!
