cloves,

I'm going to add to the (deafening) chorus of "YOU GO GIRL!". You'll look great in a traditional kilt.

I would suggest not diving in for the whole 8 yarder + accessories, which is a big investment. Go to Stillwater or USA and order either a standard or heavyweight SWK or a USA Casual and some accessories (the Buzz Kidder sporrans are very durable and a good buy). You can get the whole look (if you want) for around or under $200. Then you can decide if you like the look enough to invest in the "Tank".

Just make sure to post some pictures (so you can stop being the mystery lady )

Cheers
