Greeting from NE Arkansas

[mrdad8802]

Hello all! My name is Davis Austin and I'm of course new to the page. I live in Piggott, AR which is a very rural town. I have a wife and we have 3 children. I'm 41 yo and not exactly new to kilts. I've owned 2 of them for over 2 years now and like to wear them whenever I can. But, living in this part of the U.S., it can be very difficult to say the least. I get looks that would kill, and almost everyone stares like I have leprosy. A few are alright with it, and my wife and our youngest son are very supportive of me. Our 10yo would like to have a kilt himself, but I'm afraid of the put downs he will endure wearing one. I have a hard time not being ashamed myself because of the way people around here treat me when they see me in one.
On a side note, I still love wearing one and would love to wear one everyday. My biggest problem is the cost. Anyone know of a good place to get patterns to where I can have some kilts made? On that some thought, anyone know of a good place to get reasonably priced fabric that won't tear up after the first two or three times I wear my kilt. I prefer the "traditional" style of kilt, with buckles on the sides. Any help in these endeavors is greatly appreciated.
And I almost forgot, Clan Keith checking in! Veritas Vincit
