New Yank Kilt Wearer

[davidlpope]

...Well at least soon to be kilt wearer. Hello everyone! I've wanted a kilt since I was about 7, nearly 10 years later and it's about to happen and I'm very pleased. I found out my last name (Thompson) puts me in part of the McTavish clan. Unfortunately, my local kilt store here in the states doesn't supply McTavish kilts. I was wondering if it would be alright to wear another clans kilt, such as a MacDonald.

...Wisely and slow, they stumble that run fast....

I urge you to think and wait for a while before you buy a kilt. Save up your money and buy a real, handmade, heavyweight wool kilt. While you're waiting, research kilts and tartan. Look at swatches of actual tartan fabric in different color schemes of YOUR clan tartan. Then, once you are absolutely sure of what specifically you want, order it. If you do this thing right the first time you won't have to do it again.

FWIW, if you're dealing with a local kilt store "that doesn't supply McTavish kilts", you're dealing with the wrong folks!

Best of Luck!

I agree with David 100%. If you've waited 10 years do do this then there is no need to rush now.
