Kilts for "dummies"

[Caradoc]

I am new to being "kilted" I get the pleats to the back part but there is a world of other things I and other newbies might need or want to know about kilts and wearing them properly, parts of the kilt, formal and informal wear etc. etc.etc to infinity

Find a copy of J. Charles Thompson's "So You're Going to Wear the Kilt," or make extensive use of the "search" feature for these forums...

Or both.

It'd harder than you'd think to look like a *complete* buffoon in a kilt. Many of those listed in pour1malt's "Kilt Do's and Don'ts" thread tried really, really, really hard, and succeeded.

Check the "Show Us Your Pics" threads on formal, dressy, and casual, and pay close attention to any photos of Hamish as "that's how to do it."
