Maybe one or two of the seasoned kilters may vaguely remember the first time kilting?

I may be mistaken, but I sense that among some fellow newbies there is a process involved going first-time-public - such as wearing it about the house, taking the dog for a walk-round-the-block-before-the-neigbours-wake-up etc.

Anyway, my very first kilt (hadn't even tried one on) arrived on Thursday, and yesterday I had a great evening out at a party, then on to a couple of bars. I had other plans not compatible with kilt wearing, so I had to wait two loong days.

All you addicts out there whose postings I've been eagerly reading: You are sooo right! Comfortable, receiving loads of attention and compliments, and feeling good Not a single unpleasant episode or comment.

To fellow newbies: don your kilt and get out there - the longer you wait, the longer 'till all those compliments and positive attention.

Having been a keen reader of X Marks since January I was able to answer questions etc (thanks )

Ah, maybe I have finally graduated from newbie status?
