Hi all after some careful thought I bought my first kilt about 12 months ago and took several months to get up the courage to wear it in public. On my first outing I received nothing but admiring looks and positive comments so now wear mine most times we go out to socialize and now have 4 kilts and am contemplating my fifth. I admit to having no Scottish family connections excepting the last 4 generations of my family were gillies and gamekeepers to stately estates all round the U.K. I do feel very comfortable wearing the kilt its comfortable and quite flattering to the fuller figure, it also sits well with a nice dram of single malt. All the best folks and I look forward to enjoying the company of like minded folks. Regards Nigel
