Good day to all!

Thanks to all! You are a very welcoming bunch.

But still... any specific tartan suggestion? Anything that might reflect the old alliance between Portugal and Britain?
I've been searching and the only tartans that I might feel symbolicaly "right" are the Black Watch and the Stewart Hunting. But then again... these are very much "default" tartans, right? And I would like to avoid choosing a clan tartan just because I like the colours and then read up on the history so that I might know the tartan...
I'm looking for some sort of connection.

Of course, I could design my own tartan. But that would become rather dear...

Plus, do you think that a polyviscose kilt might be a good option? I'm not looking to spend a lot of money. But again, a wool tartan would be a better investment and look better as well... Oh, so many questions!

I'm a firm believer in wool, heavyweight wool, the heavier the bette first, last, and foremost, summer or winter. If you want to save a nickel though, consider a semi-traditional or an ultra-traditional box-pleat. Some of our kiltmakers listed on the site give a better price because there is less cloth used, but be cautious, at least one quoted me extra because it was a less usual concept.

Thanks for that! It is nice to see that there are people that still remember the good old "Escudo" currency!

welcome from Germany. No celtic connection here as well.
Set aside, that in the regions I lived and live now were in the middle of celtic settling in the Bronze ages.

What's eccentric about pipes, my dear fellow pipester?

Welcome from Northern Ireland. I have learnt a few things about Portugal's history from this thread. A most beautiful country.
I hope you are pleased with whatever kilt you select.

Anyone can wear a kilt. As A footwear commercial once said, "just do it"
