Greetings from Houston!

Greetings all!

Brand new member from Houston, Texas.

I have wanted a kilt for quite some time but was unable to muster the will and/or financial resources to take the plunge until this past year. I was planning to spend New Years with a friend and his family in Comrie, a small town in Perthshire, and I was informed that dinner on New Years Day is a black tie event. This gave me the push I needed and I ordered my kilt from Roger Nichols Kiltmakers in Perth. To make an already too long story short, or rather not quite as long, I am now the proud owner of an 8-yard knife-pleated kilt in the Anderson tartan (my grandmother's family).

I am looking forward to adding a couple of more casual, and less expensive, kilts to the wardrobe as well as chances to wear them!

Welcome from the highlands of Colorado. I'll be down there the 1st of April looking for a kilt night. See the thread on the kilt nights section.

By your command!

And the kiltmaker was Robert Nichol of Perth & Dumferline, not Roger Nichols. I do not know why I can't remember thier name. They were most helpful, particularly with getting the measurements correct and then making a couple fo adjustments in record time once I was over there.
