It look suprisingly good. I've been wary of the thrifty-kilt because it seems like it would look cheap. But it looks good.

I have a heavyweight. It feels like I could roll down a gravel pit in it and it'll still be fine.

Good on ya lad, keep kilting. I found a leather tool belt at sears dept. store in the hardware dept. that is three inches wide with a large double toothed buckle it looks great with the kilt and was only $18.00. You might try something like that.

Thanks all. I am actually hitting the mall (shudder) after work - there is a Sears amongst a bazillion other stores where I can look for a belt. The Sears options is good if I want a brown belt - but I don't feel like dyeing leather to get a black one.

As far as the Thrifty goes - it was pretty comfortable - although I have no other kilt to compare.

On Wednesday I will be receiving an AlphaKilt OD Argyll that I purchased off of Eric/Kilted Carver - So this will be a way for me to see how this style feels/looks on me.

Next month I am purchasing the Casual Kilt from USA Kilts - I was thinking about doing the Casual Kilt Package - it seems like a good deal and a nice way to start off getting some accessories as well.

Three inches below the knee is a bit draconian. Some folks have had good luck finding belts at places like Lowe's and Home Depot. I got a great web belt which I wear with my UK Workman.

I love my SWK Thrifty in Irish National. I bought it for St. Patrick's Day, and at $30 it's cheap enough that if someone should puke on it, I wouldn't care.

That's actually pretty impressive. I know I had to work up to wearing mine out in public the first time. You just jumped right in to the deep end. Good work, sir!

Thanks - but I have zero embarrassment factor. I could show up at work or walk out in public totally nude and I wouldn't care. I am by no means brash or crude - I just have no issues with fear of embarrassment.

Now my poor wife - she told me that if anyone says "Nice legs!" and they are not referring to her.....
