First kilt!

[long_hand]

Failte!

So I recieved my first kilt today and I wam thrilled with it! I bought an SWK Mackenzie thrifty and I am utterly amazed at the high quality for such a low price. I will probably add belt loops and I need to get it hemmed a bit but my goodness I am so pleased. Obviously since this is my first kilt I do not have the experience to know what a truly worthy kilt is, but if you want a kilt for everyday wear I highly reccomend SWK thrifty.

Slainte!

and enjoy your new kilt. You found a great retailer to start with and it only gets better from here.

The first of many I'm sure.

from Scotland. Your kilt shouldn't have loops for a belt, by the way. Some have loops at the back for your sporan strap.

One thing WILL lead to another. Let the obsession begin! Welcome to the world of the kilted.

SWK Thrifties are a dangerous, dangerous gateway kilt. I hope you know what you're doing. Of course, you think you can handle it. You'll buy a couple more thrifties. Then, one dark night, a thrifty won't seem like it's enough. So you'll order a standard. Probably Black Watch -- after all, how scary can that be? It's a universal tartan. Everyone does it, right?

But then, that won't be enough, and you'll start looking at casuals and semi-trads at USA Kilts. Every now and then, you'll start sneaking peeks at the websites from across the pond. 16 ounces. 100% wool. Three straps. Belt loops. Fully lined. No, you'll say. I can't. I shouldn't. Then, after awhile, you just won't be able to stop yourself. "Eh, I'll try it just once."

And then you're done. It's over. And you're going to lay there in a pile of your own tartan, wondering how you got here and how your life (and closet) got so out of control.

Trust me. I've been there.
