I am currently living in Fort Worth TX. I'm 41 and started wearing kilts around 3 years ago when I bought one from a shop at the Scarborough rennasaince festival. My family heritage is irish but I like to think that anyone can wear a kilt. I fell in love with how comfortable they are to wear and how much confidence they give you! I now have a complete jakobite outfit to wear at the ten fair and I have 2 other utility kilts I have worn to work at the Navy base. I also wore it to Dallas Comic Con and convinced a friend to get one as well!
EDIT: My surname is McDearmont. Our great grandfather got angry at the family and changed the spelling we were McDermott's before then!
I was looking up history and found reference to MacDiarmada which is cool as my kilt pin and broch pin match.
