Being Australian born, but of Scottish/Welsh heritage, I always liked the look of a Kilt, but never cared either way about heritage, except I secretly enjoyed being a Celt.
Then, about my 63rd birthday, a few months ago, I saw an older guy in a Utilikilt. Then & there I suddenly decided it's time to stop worrying about what other people think and take the plunge to full comfort. Bought two Blackwatch Kilts, one cheap one not- with Fly Plaid & Sporran etc, from Kiltmart on Ebay. I Knew instinctively how to wear them (?) And went striding off to the Supermarket and "Divil tak the hindmost!".
Lots of positive response, on how well it suited me etc. I felt perfectly at home in my kilt from the very first moment.
Have continued ever since. I now have nine of all sorts.
I later came across Xmarks - thanks to Stillwater Kilts, and enjoy this site very much. The guys (& Gals) are helpful and fun, with great information. It's like a new chapter in my life. I love it!
