Kilts and Palm Trees

**Scott West** · 29th January 09, 01:47 PM

Greetings Everyone: I finally registered! Being retired from the US Air Force I have a diverse background. However, I am proud to be an Ulster-Scot and though I'm a Florida native my family stems from North Carolina. I bought a SportKilt 6 months ago and enjoy it very much - but the bug has bitten hard! Next week I will be measured for an 8yd, 16oz Strome Locharron Buchanan Hunting Modern kilt. Having a "real" kilt is a dream come true. I'm even going to take a favorite pipes CD to play while being measured... after all, this is a very special occasion! I enjoy the candor and knowledge of the posts and look forward to participating.

Scott

Dude. You've skipped several gateway kilts. You've gone straight to the hard stuff.

Welcome from home of the 2008 NCAA mens national basketball champions -- and congrats on the tank!

From Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Good for you, I think the 16oz 8 yard kilt is a wonderful 2nd kilt for you and it should see you through many formal affairs.

Awesome! There is nothing like a real 8 yard 16 ounce wool kilt! While a wee bit on the pricey side, it's definitely a good investment for your dollar.
