    Great look for you. I know waht you mean about their heavyweights, 'though: I've got a Black Watch standard that I love for wearing around the house and light chores-but it just doesn't have the heft to stand up to the winds we've been seeing lately here on the Front Range. Heavier wool oughta solve that issue.

    I was kinda wondering what the local rednecks would have to say when they saw me. I run a pawnshop/gun store in a very small Idaho town so I was prepared for a ribbing at least. Only got a few outright laughs, and a couple good coments, mostly people asking if I was Scottish or was I in a parade they didn't know about. Over all pretty good though, and the comfort factor was terrific. Still, I might not have had the stones to go all day in the store with it if not from the good example of the folks here in the forum.

    I hope the wearing of the kilt continues to catch on, this is definitely something I could get used to. After the heavy weight stillwater the plan is to pick up a great kilt, I'm getting married in december and plan to wear the great kilt to that.

    Probably should rename this place kiltaholics anonymous, makes for a great support group and does absolutely nothing to cure the addiction.

    I ran into a complete redneck oneday at the post office who actually complimented me on the kilt. But he started to call it a skirt and then corrected himself. I asked him if he knew why it was called a kilt. He said that he didn't know. So I said, "Cause the last guy who called it a skirt got kilt!" He laughed very loudly, even spilled a little juice from his chew out of his mouth (rather disgusting actually).

    I would not have expected that myself, but he seemed to think it was a really cool thing.

    Great looking kilt. Yes, you will get more kilts, and hear plenty of good funny comments. It really is a nice addiction.

    Congrats on your first kilt and I'm glad to hear you had a positive first public wearing.

    Who's going to make fun of the guy who owns the gun shop?

    That Black Stewart is one I've got my eye on right now. Congrats!

    I would suggest that the sporran be worn a bit higher and bring the flashes around to the front of the calf muscle.
