New to the board, new to kilts. Haven't bought my first yet, but am considering it. To be honest, it's a bit overwhelming and due to the invisible nature of the purchase (online/distant correspondance) I don't know quite where to start. I've been looking at as many pictures as I can find to figure out what I like, but never having seen a kilt up-close before, it's hard to know what makes the difference between kilts that look good and fit right, and those who've worn them but something looks amiss.

It also doesn't help someone like me (24 years, 5'8", 165lbs) to see lots of older guys up and around 6' and 200lbs or so! I'll throw some pics of myself up soon, if that will help.

I think I prefer the idea of a modern kilt style, since I don't want to be seen as a wannabe Scot - all due resect to the Scots, I just don't want to be seen as a pretender.

Anyway, I'm learning quickly thanks to you all, and it's good to be here.

God's grace be with you all.
