I've wanted to wear a kilt for a long time. Not really sure why,but the desire was there. It was at a local Ren faire that I saw a utilikilt for the first time. I never knew there was such a thing as a modern kilt. It was then that I actually started pursuing the dream of owning and wearing a kilt. It took several years for the money, desire, and self confidence to all gather together, but it did finally!! Now, I own 4. Full time kilting is still a long way off for me, but I have a great start!

If it wasn't for Ren faires (and I am a faithful faire goer), I would still be in that *gee, wouldn't a kilt be kinda fun to wear?* mode.

PS, at our local faire, I would have to say that the modern kilts versus the traditional kilts would be about 50/50. Last year, I would almost give the traditional kilts the edge on numbers.
