Thanks to this web page and good advice, today I ordered my first kilt.

I ordered a full kit from Kilt Store today: Brian Baru jacket and ancient Tara/Murphy tartan (as my avatar). I was advised by them that using a tuxedo jacket for less formal occasions was a popular option, so I should be able to dress for most formal occasions. A knitted white wool sweater should take care of the less formal evenings at the pub...

Delivery is estimated in 4-5 weeks , so attire for St. Patrick's Day is secured...

Will add photos to web page when kit arrives.
