    My First Kilt just delivered today

    They have just delivered my first kilt today. I have tried it on and it fits fine but as it is a Christmas gift from my wife it has to be hung in her wardrobe and zipped in its bag, and the accessories (which I haven't seen) wrapped for Christmas Day.
    I am surprised at how heavy it is but as my wife says 8 yards of heavy material is gonna weigh a bit. She got me the Scottish National tartan in the end. Can't wait to wear it properly on Christmas Day. Or as I said on the newbie section...Kiltmas day....

    Well done Terry, I bet that's a bit of bummer having to give back until kiltmas, and yes an eight yard Kilt is heavy, there's a thread on here discussing Kilt weights, Christmas will soon be here. Kit

    I`d bet you haven`t been this excited about Christmas since you were a wee bairn. Scottish national is a nice tartan, I look forward to seeing some pics on the day!

    I have three words for you.....


    Don't
    Gain
    Weight

    Kilts tend to "shrink" when hung up for a while.

    Great stuff.
    You will adjust to the weight of the kilt very soon.
