Took the plunge...

Ok, maybe it's more like 'wading in' rather than a 'plunge' but I just bought my first kilt... A Blackwatch from Stillwaters... cheap, because I'm not 100% sure what I'm getting myself into and I'm not ready for a big commitment for an everyday kilt.
*gulp*

You want to know what you're in for? An addiction... That's what you're in for. Once you realize that you can wear something as comfortable as a bath towel in public, you won't want to ever wear anything else!

Welcome!

That's how I describe it to people who ask me why I'm wearing a kilt. Yeah, it's that comfortable.

Congrats on the first kilt, stillwaters is a wonderful way to start and they have excellent customer service.

My first kilt was an SWK Black Watch heavyweight wool. It's great, especially for the price. The Australian merino wool has a great hand. Not to mention the fact that you can't beat Jerry's customer service.

Congratulations~! My first kilt was a synthetic Black Watch kilt, too. It should serve its function really well.

If I went wool I was going to go with the Irish Saffron. Very nice colour and not something I saw on a lot of the other sites. But because of cost/investment I got one of the acrylics. I was tempted to get the flat black, but the Black Watch makes it a little more clear that it's a kilt as opposed to a skirt, which can be a concern when you go to an art school in a place as conservative as Cincinnati.
