    Newbie introduction.

    Hi all and greetings from San Francisco. While I'm new to the forum, kilts have been an occasional part of my wardrobe since childhood. A few years ago, when a friend invited me to a Burns Supper hosted by the San Francisco Scottish Rite, I thought to myself, "I bet that kilt from teenage years still fits. I oughta pick-up some bits 'n' bobs so I can wear a correct evening rig to the event." I discovered this forum during that internet shopping spree and have been an avid, semi-regular lurker ever since.

    Lucky you!

    When I visited my dad over Thanksgiving, he mentioned that my old kilt (acquired at age 14) was upstairs in the attic. I'm 49 now, and, uh, not the same shape ;)

    Welcome to the forum
    Hi all and greetings from San Francisco. Thanks for the welcome.

    Fortunately, since my folks were paying for an “heirloom” quality hand sewn kilt for
    16-year-old, the sweet old lady who made it used some ingenious sewing tricks and guesstimation, based on my dad’s measurements, to build in extra fabric in case I hit a big growth spurt. Luckily, after having it altered, the length and waist are just right.
