Your first kilt wearing experience

Please comment on:

The decision to wear a kilt. 1st time in a kilt, decision was pretty much mandated by piping competition rules. However by that point the whole bagpiping & genealogy ventures were part & parcel of the eventual intent to own a kilt of my own, once I saved enough semolians...
Choice of kilt.
Borrowed a Buchanan hunting kilt from someone at church. Fortunately I have a connection to this tartan -- my paternal g'father's birth mother
The occasion. 1st annual Scotland County (NC) Highland Games -- I was a steward for the piping competition.
Your experience. Being as it was at a Scottish games, I completely blended in, even though I didn't have proper ghillies. It was a hot day, for October, and I was glad for the shade!
The response. Wife thought it looked good; but wasn't 'til subsequent occasion that she decided I had the right build for a kilt
Kilt wearing since then. mostly at games & competitions.

Best kilt experience EVER: Getting back from a frustrating experience at a piping competition, in which my registration was lost and I never got to play as the stewards were clueless little boy scouts, I was coming back to my hotel and was stopped by 2 VERY cute Korean girls who wanted to have their picture taken with me! Piping!?? What piping competition?!?
