I second Albannach! My college celtic/punk band opened for them when they put on a free show over a decade ago back in Middle TN. Watching them perform was just outstanding. Then we saw them a day or...

My family also had stories about how we are descendants of Cherokees, specifically Pocahontas and John Smith.

My Ancestry DNA doesn't show a lick of Native American, however, uploading my results...

That sure is a lot of Orders that you are a part of! The only Order that I am a member of is The Holy Orthodox Order of Saint George the Great Martyr - a religious chivalric order recently created...

This is exactly as much of an answer that I wanted! Thank you. I'm on a few heraldry groups on Facebook and the one on Reddit as well. I absolutely love seeing people's Arms and learning why they...

I'm jealous that it took only 3 weeks. I went through the IAAH and it took a few months for the herald and I to decide on my Arms.

I like your Arms, any particular meaning behind them?

I have some Aberfeldy 12 currently sitting in my decanter. I'll probably polish it off tonight. I just received a small oak cask and it should be ready to be used to age some scotch by Monday. The...

I prefer my Armstrong tartan for Christmas. Of course, as it is the only one I own anymore, that also makes it the tartan I choose for everything. But, I've found the black, green, red, and hints of...

Glorify Him!

I've worn my kilt to church before and have gotten compliments from parishioners and priest both. There is a gent who wears a kilt on Pascha (Easter for those who read this and aren't...

I am indeed Orthodox, also under the Antiochian jurisdiction, though I converted in GOArch, and the chivalric order I'm in is technically ROCOR

Oh, I have plenty of time and knowhow, especially for buttons, just not the funds to buy the gaiters and extra materials needed.

I'd purchase them if I didn't have to sew the buttons on myself. But alas, I'm not set up to even hand make the things I want.

Just wondering if you received the hose yet? I'm wondering what they would look like with the Armstrong tartan.

I've seen the post for those, but if I were to wear something over my legs then it would most likely be something like this

I'm actually wearing 3 pairs of hose, the first were an off-white/tan pair, the second was the green pair you can see the tops of and the third the charcoal on top. I'll probably end up wearing the...

Thanks! I'm pretty proud of it. And yes. The kilt is very versatile

I haven't worn mittens in a long time, but your probably right. I also could have gone for my winter flight gloves, but I've misplaced them

I've taken to short walks lately to help beat depression. I decided to wear my GK. For reference it was about 3°F today...

Yes, I wore the same plaid in all the environments I mentioned. It's the only plaid I have, though I might get another one after my tax return comes in.

I pleat it every single time, no belt...

I obviously share the same interests as you do. I have worn my plaid doing construction before, and other various outside work environments. Unfortunately, I do not have any opportunities to wear my...

That makes sense. I've heard the same about the rough gathers, and truth be told, if I'm camping or doing something in which I'll be putting it back on in the morning with no care for how it looks,...

What happened to your beard?

I wonder why it doesn't look as good. Do you just belt it and put it on, or do you belt it, pleat it, and then put it on?

I'm a part of a chivalric and charitable order as well (The Holy Orthodox Order of Saint George the Great Martyr), I'm hoping to see if we can get some kilt stuff made on top of the existing...

Nicely done getting others to wear a kilt!

Today was the Afterfeast of the Entrance of the Theotokos into the Temple - the actual Feast was Wednesday night/Thursday but I missed it due to work. I...

I quite like my GK, but yes, it is work to put it on. Once I have it on, it stays on for the rest of the day.

I like the extra fabric as it gives me more cover either over my legs or as a cloak.
