    My First Attempt At Doing the Kilt Justice

    One of my friends was having a little wedding out near Branson, MO and she loved the idea of me coming in a kilt, I was not in the wedding though. Just an attendee. And before all of you say it. I know, I need a sporran. It was ordered and didnt make it in time, I also want to switch buckles but just didnt have the time.

    Me and the lovely bride


    It was a delightful ceremony and I had a great time whilst kilted.

    Great color coordination .The kilt is a Magnet. Your collection will grow with time and before you know it, you'll have all the accessories you need.

    A good look overall. I like the buckle--it gives it that slightly punk look. Rock on!

    Well done on your first kilted outing.

    I think you are wearing your kilt about 1 -2 inches too low. Pull it up a bit, it feels strange at first, but you will rapidly get used to it. Generally the edge of the kilt should come to lower than mid knee.

    Cheers

    Well the kilt was a 30 tightened as far as it would go and I am a 28 in waist. The belt was also as tight as it would go and it kept sliding down on me so I gave up and let it hang a little bit low. I am going to punch another hole in the belt to try and solve the issue there. SWK only had Mac Leod in 30 as they are discontinuing it and at $65 for their standard kilt I though I could make due.

    Let's all have a show of hands of people that are irritated with any one on this forum having the nerve to have 28" waist.

    As long as you are aware of the generally accepted rules then that's fine. Your first kilt outfit certainly looks better than mine did. The SWK Mcleod is a favorite of mine I have worn it everywhere.

    Heck, I haven't measured, but I bet my thighs are bigger than that.

    He's just a young'un though, so we can cut him some slack.
