My uncle assures me I have rights to wear the Wilson colors so ideally I would love to pick up a “Wilson modern” 8 yard kilt. Actually he and my father seem to be demanding that I wear the family colors. The problem is dropping more than $500 before renting the rest of the outfit is well above budget and hey dropping $500 on a dress I will only wear once is too painful to contemplate.

Check out a bunch of the online kilt companies www.scottishkilts.net , www.kiltstore.net , etc Both sell some pretty reasonalbe 5 yard kilts.

I am willing to bet that once you wear that kilt for the wedding, that you will try and wear it more and more often. I haven't worn my suit in years, and it was brand new.
