Hello there everyone. New to the forums, but out of every place I’ve looked, I must say I best I have found the best place to get the answers that I seek. Hold on though, this post is filled with some questions needing your expert advice.

I have never worn a kilt before, but situations have arisen that require it of me. Personally I don’t see it something I don’t want to do. Just needed to be kicked out of the door.

My only concern is that it will be too tight. Only seeing pictures, and never seeing them in real life, my first fear is that they are going to be somewhat tight and mobility constricting ( my only reference is, and please don’t kill me for saying this, but a skirt a girl would ware.) I have a feeling that I’m wrong on this, but having someone tell me just how ‘free’ and easy it is to move in one of these would greatly put to rest this fear.

I am looking to buy two kilts. The first is a nice one that I will be using at a wedding this fall. I’m not too concerned with this one, as after searching through your helpful suppliers links, getting a nice package deal for everything that’s needed is nice.

The second kilt is going to see a lot of use though, so I need something durable. I practice Historical Scottish broadsword(British regimental, and just recently old style), Claymore, Dirk, and Targe, summer has just started, and not only would a kilt be much appreciated for being cooler then pants, but feel slightly more shall we say, historically accurate. It would need to be durable though, able to withstand falls and being struck.

Those are basically what I need advice in. I have plenty of time before I need any of these, so I thought it would be best to get as much information as I can before making any rush purchases. Thanks in advance, and I look forward to getting my first piece of non-bifurcated clothing
