I ordered my first UK in July. I had wanted one for a long time but first my parents objected, then when I mentioned it to my girlfriend she almost died and said she wouldnt be seen with me. So the parents haven't disowned me, but the gf is long gone.

That was four years ago, so 28.
Unless you want to count that one Scottish dance in '84 ...

I was 37. It was a gift I gave myself after my divorce...had I known, I would have traded her in for a kilt looong before that!

For casual wear, 47 (which is the age I used in the poll). The first time I ever wore a kilt was age 27, borrowed from the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders Regiment in Dunoon, badger-head sporan and all.

Best regards,

Jake

I got my first one at the Pa ren faire when I was 26 or so. It was definitely a costume rather than a garment so I wore it maybe twice. I started wearing actual kilts last year at age 33.
