I want to thank everyone for the information that you have shared with me. With your suggestions, I am leaning toward getting a 16oz, 8yd kilt in the Gunn Clan Modern tartan from Scotweb.
I was a little concerned with the weight of the kilt I purchase. I've heard some say that a 16oz kilt is pretty heavy to wear during the summer months but I have also heard some mention on this thread that the 16oz works well all year long. Is this the common consensus with everyone?
Thank you also for sharing with me the different styles of dress. I wish I could just start purchasing everything I want but I will have to get started with the essentials and then add as I go. I figure that besides the kilt I should get a belt and buckle. A nice leather sporran and some Ghillie Brogues. I'm going to look into having my hose knitted by a family friend. Does this sound like a good start to everyone?
