New member with a new kilt

[deadelvis]

This is kind of the same intro id did on another kilt forum so If it looks the same it is!

Greetings from Tulsa, Oklahoma. My name is Charles and I have just purchased (and wore) my first kilt in the last week. I'd like to thank the members of the board for assisting me with making an educated first purchase. While I did not ask questions directly, I was able to find everything I needed within the pages of this forum.

A little about me:

I am of Scottish and Irish decent so I've got the best of both worlds covered! I'm 32 years old and work as a K-9 Sgt. with a local Police Department.

The kilt I decided on was the Stillwater Standard in Black Watch tartan. I will post a review elsewhere but suffice to say it arrived in two days, was worn on the 3rd, and was "kilted" within the hour! I had expected such behavior since I was meeting friends at a pub where my buddy’s play and had taken measures, a la boxer shorts, to protect the crowd from my white ****.

I got the usual jokes from guys at the pub but this quickly ceased. I would say within the first hour in the pub every female patron and staff member had found there way to my location! Topic of discussion? Well of course it was the kilt.
All questions were handled in the utmost professional manner.......one could muster......at a pub........in Tulsa, OK.!!!!
Needless to say I never heard any more comments from the men about my "skirt". In fact three guys came up asking about the tradition, where to buy such an item, and so on. Good to hear.

I was nervous at first but the comfort quickly took over. l love wearing the kilt! Comfort beyond belief. I have plans on two more to be ordered in the next week.

Again I'd like to thank all that post for the inspiration and information that helped me make a good decision. Those of you gone ahead have set me a great path from which to start.! Here we go!

Hi there Charles, great to hear your story, it's fantastic to hear of lads wearing the kilt for the first time and doing well.

Just be ware, they are very addictive, you'll soon not want to take it off.
I wear mine to bed, it's ruined my marriage :sad:;)

Welcome, great story.

What does your pooch think of the kilt?? :confused:

Charles has a new kilt, congratulations (as you have already been warned, it will not be the last).

WELCOME to this fiesty bunch!

Great story. Welcome!

Welcome aboard...

I have found that my pooch has a thing for coming up to me and trying to stick his head under my kilt to drop a toy for me to throw. There's nothing like a soggy tennis ball to the pods.

Hopefully yours is better trained (and not just because it's a K-9...)

Well done, mate!
I'm sure there are others who read the posts, buy their kilts and discover how nice it is to be kilted, and never ask a single question on the forums, but too few of them appreciate the service. Thanks you for the thank you.
Too many new guys ask the same questions that have been answered far too many times. The answers to most of their questions are easily found but they decide it's easier to ask than do a little digging on their own.
Then along comes deadelvis and tells us he's already bought and worn his kilt, due to our inspiration and information.
Again, well done!

Great story! Glad to hear it was a success. Funny story about the young lady and the puppy, too. Classic!
