1st daylong kilting for me

**greenfordranger** · 5th April 11, 11:52 AM

So up to this point all my kilt wear has been at ceremonies/parades where I would change in the parking garage, parking lot or where I could. I'm one who is always concerned w/wrinkling my jeans so I knew just thinking about my pleats would drive me crazy

But I finally bit the bullet and had at it! We spent this past Saturday in Buckingham County in Virginia at their 250th anniversary celebration and I must admit I was the only one kilted. I enjoyed every minute of it. I wasn't as concerned w/the wrinkling of the pleats as I was the 20-30 mph wind gusts that we experienced. I will admit that the importance of checking the weather report before going out should be done. I decided on wearing my Wallace red Sportkilt due to this being a casual event. I sported my Father's knot sporran from our very own Donnie @ Wyvern leatherworks & an antlered handled sgian dubh by our very own Taygrd @ Taylor knives. I have to admit, the kilt is quite popular w/the ladies even when you're w/yours

I look forward to many more daylong kiltings for me. This pic is at the Robert E. Lee Wayside near Buckingham County

Very nice. I'm glad you posted the pic. I'm looking forward to my first "non-event" outing tomorrow (even if it is in honor of National Tartan Day). It's a "non-event" 'cuz I'll be the only one kilted

I remember my first kilted day. Great memory, just like yours. Enjoy it. But be careful if you kilt today. I'm just 1 hour up the road from you today, and this cold 30mph gusty wind is not kilt friendly.
