Your first kilt wearing experience

[xman]

Well my first kilt was worn on stage and it wasn't so much my decision as the designer's. It was a DND Black Watch kilt and was such a comfortable experience though that I always wanted one for myself. I was pointed in this direction a few years ago and things took off for me.


For my first personal kilt I went with a USAK casual. The first time I wore it out was to my SIL's for a family gathering which was met with mixed reactions, mostly good, but the SIL in question was not impressed. No big deal since she's not my biggest fan anyhow.


My first wool kilt was self made in my clan tartan. I wore it around town to great comments and it eventually became my paddling kilt last year. I outshrunk it though and sold it, now I have to sew a new paddling kilt. (I paddle in the Gung Haggis Fat Choy Dragon Boat team). That lead to my kiltmaking obsession and eventually to sewing the kilts for my brother's wedding last year. I get a LOT of compliments.


Now I wear a kilt as often as pants.
