Finally, my First day out in a kilt!!!

[thecompaqguy]

I became a first time kilt wearer about two weeks ago. I remember the excitement of opening the packaging after it had been delivered and the fun of trying it on for the first time in front of the mirror. After trying on several t-shirts and taking some pictures, I eventually ventured outside to the local supermarket. I was a bit nervous at first, but once I passed a few local shop keepers I'm friendly with and having their reaction be nothing but positive, I grew in confidence (although a gust of wind that almost blew the kilt up at the back did make me panic for a split second! lol).

The first "real" time in public was when I was DJing at a club on a friday night. Everybody loved it; some guys thought I'd lost a bet, but a lot of girls were asking the "are you wearing anything underneath" question (I wasn't incidentally).


Since then, I've worn it out about half a dozen times and loved every minute of it. Already ordered my second kilt, which is arriving on Tuesday, and have my eye on a third as well as decided which tartan to use when I have a traditional one made.

Soooooo addictive and so much fun!

Love the ensemble - looks great

It is addictive, and expensive - even the PV kilts are £50 a pop though EBay is your friend - I've found many a bargain from the auctions - though sometimes bidding can get a little wild - have a very interesting denim kilt from Poland, and a Dress Stewart (white) -

and a more controversial Pinstripe Kilt Suit. Pinstripe divides some here on the forum, the Mrs prefers regular tartan, though initially she hated all kilts. I wear my sporran with mine or it can look a little like a ladies business suit

I've walked a section of Lordship Lane in mine - passing passengers on the 243 bus found it amusing - though I've not had any adverse comments - just quizzical looks. I've found the key is confidence - carry on as you would in jeans. Google 'Benny D' - another kilted DJ ( http://www.djbennydfansite.com/photo...-at-la-marina/ ) he's Akon's DJ. Some of his kilts are a little long though
