First off, hello!
I recently retired from the military and had time on my hands to investigate family lore that one of our lines traced to 16th century Scotland. After what turned out to be a very educational and enjoyable research project I was able to validate it and also discover that my Scottish ancestry first set foot in the Colonies in 1650. Since my research I've been invited to and attended a Highland festival and a Burns Night. Needless to say, a kilt is in my future!
My primary goal is to purchase kit for formal occasions and would greatly appreciate the advice of this forum. Since most of the formal events are military in nature, I would like to know what color quality (modern, ancient, reproduction, weaver's), weight, yardage, box pleat, vendor, etc. As a newbie I know just enough to be totally confused!
Thanks in advance!
