somewhere in my teens I wore a braveheart costume once to a party, it wasn't a real kilt/great kilt but a cheap thing from a partyshop. Then at 27 I competed for the first timein the student highland games.again in a cheap partykilt, and decided I wanted one for real. It took me another two years. last december I wore my first real kilt. And now I'm hooked.
I have 4 meters of a fashion tartan at home to make my own kilt an X-kilt I think. And will order an other kilt when my pay cheque comes in.
