My first appearance in first kilt; was on my way to a family picnic at a state park. Sandals and a GI boonie hat completed the outfit. Belt and sporran were crafted by myself. Remarks ranged from "my attire was very nice" (from a Scottish stranger), to "what kind of getup is that" (from one of my brothers), to "what does a Scot wear under his kilt" (from a lady cousin)? There was much explaining where the kilt fit into the family tree.

I was pleasantly surprised how well the 15oz. wool shed wrinkles, considering how much time I spent sitting in the car and at the picnic.
