    Talking YAY it finally came!

    A little late for the weekend so I couldn't show off at the car show Sunday. But I'm so glad it came. I'll definetly be wearing this at the General Geek Convention (tm) I go to volunteer at every year. Well heres the pics...

    I was suprised to find the packaging so simple, was expecting a box more like this (which came the same day for my cell phone card)....

    just for shits & giggles, heres all that came in that box

    What a waste of cardboard!

    Neatly folded and unharmed!

    got that fresh kilt smell


    The Darn Sun was to my back so they didn't come out the best. But the only one I got facing the other way came out badly.

    Those were taken after I went around town on some errands. Most people either didn't notice or just didn't say anything. Only my bank teller (whom I used to work with) asked me what it was and why I was wearing it. Then as we were leaving a couple ladies in an SUV were pointing at me, of course I wouldn't have noticed had my mother not said to him "That's my son! He looks good in it!" Oh yeah I almost forgot: One lady at the Ice Cream Shoppe we went to did say she liked it!

    Man its a nice feeling garment though. I'm wondering why I've been wearing pants for so long! Now I just need some more. Luckily my mother might help me to start stitching up some so I can save some money.

    Quick question: I only had one incident where the wind blew up my kilt a little too much for comfort. Luckily I wasn't going Regimental. Any advice on what to do when that happens?

    Congratulations on that first kilt! I'm sure there will be many more. I've taken a shine to UK's myself. I got my Carmel Workman's this week, and truely love it. It's an amazing kilt.

    Ya look great! Your stance in the last photo says you'll be wearing the kilt a lot. You'll probably want to switch to darker socks scrunched down around the ankles to complete the look. Some techno-gadgets (phone, PDA, digicam) in the pockets should assist in defeating the wind. What's the Geek Convention you're attending?

    Welcome!

    keep in mind that yes, you will most likely by more kilts, and yes, we have support groups for those aflicted with a "kilt addiction". Hamish heads up meetings when they happen...

    Good for you! Pictures look good too. I bought my first kilt a few months ago, and I just ordered my 4th last week. It's hard to stop!

    Just smile and enjoy the breeze! Seriously though, unintentional exposures are part of the whole experience. Just get hold of it and pull it back down and hold it until the breeze calms down. The main thing to remember is just relax and don't be embarrased. You're not trying to moon anyone.
