The different kilt types (casual, formal, ancient, full-length, solid tone) and when each is appropriate

[Geoduck]

I think that there definately needs to be a section on care and cleaning. Someone made a great comment on cleaning Galant's Utilikilt. I'm prone to spilling and I'm surely not alone.

Proper care and storage could be vital information for anyone new to the kilt.

You guys KNOW my biggest beef with tartans, and Matt would be a HUGE help with it. That would be the education in tartans... what they are, which are which, and what's appropriate. An entire section on LINKS to tartan sites of education would suffice. Lord knows it would be easier to tap right into his skull, but that could be painful and messy.

Secondly, I would LOVE to see a block of links to locations that help individuals FIND THEIR TARTAN. Take any family name... find a clan, district, nation, or family tartan that's available. The spots are out there, but I just don't know them. I have the books with the associations and that doesn't help. Let's get the links up!

Concise list of terminology and definitions, ...like What's a "tank". I only figured it out from context, after seeing the term used casually for a while.

Taking off from Jimmy's post....

There is a links section to this site (I just noticed it myself!!), perhaps we could start a thread giving all the links we know so that Hank could include them? Or just have a thread with the links.

Either way, I have found myself bookmarking quite a few so I have a handy way to find what I want...

for the FAQ - suppliers of the things you need for kiltmaking

[KiltedBishop]

I think the tips on sitting and getting into and out of Cars, and Trucks/SUV's is a good thing to list somewhere. I found it helpful.
