Mattia,

The ebook you downloaded is a very good resource that will probably answer many questions.

The book "The Kilt & How to Wear It -1901" may be difficult to find and has old outdated information.

Yes, there is a lot to learn about properly wearing a kilt. You are asking good questions and members of this forum are always happy to help people who are new to wearing the kilt.

Don't hesitate to ask more questions.

emphasis mine -- actually, Erskine's The Kilt & How to Wear It is quoted quite frequently by Matt -- and is generally a reliable source:

Don't discount something just because it's old -- primary sources are always a good thing!

Mattia,
Hello and a warm

from Boston, Massachusetts U.S.A.

My first call would be to ask the wedding partners if they have a preference of tartan. Second is to then work on the kit. Be sure to measure VERY carefully. As soon as you get your kilt -WEAR IT! Become familiar with how to put it all on, then how to sweep and sit, arising and settling the pleats. Practice wearing it so as to be fully comfortable in it. The kilt should soon be a very comfortable way to be. Most of us on X-Marks try to stay kilted as much as possible. My avatar is the way I dress for church every Sunday here in the U.S.. The kilt is making a grand surge in popularity here.

Enjoy ye Rabble

Hello Mattia

Before you start to assemble the items for the wedding I'd suggest that you talk with your friend the groom and see if you can get some idea of what his bride is hoping for on the big day - as the bride and her family usually organise and set the conditions for the wedding. You might, possibly, like to contact the bride's father for advice.

Then at least you will know what to aim for.
