Hey guys. My name is Zak and I am new to X Marks the Scot. I am from Reading, Pa and I recieved my first kilt last X-mas as a gift from my mom and future step father. It was made by Rocky and Kelly of USA Kilts. It is a Douglas Modern philabeg. I am currently awaiting my newest kilt, a Scottish National Tartan traditional kilt. Now no, I am not Scottish. I am actually of Irish family. Not much Irish blood but enough to be proud of. I am proud to be part of this culture and lifestyle.

Hi Zak and welcome to X Marks!

Welcome to the forum, Zak!

Welcome from another Pennsylvanian (Pittsburgh)!

Welcome Zak! I like your folks' taste in tartans and hope you enjoy it too. Being from PA you are certainly among friends (no pun intended) - a whole bunch on the forum hail from that state.

Truth be told, I'm jealous :cry: and may have to think about relocating. Seems there're more members in Tasmania than in the NYC area. [Graham - please note the use of 's' and not 'z' ;-) ] Or they're just uncommonly quiet for being around 'The Big Apple'. It's eerie...

Yes, I too, find your choice of tartan pleasing.

Tis a most beautiful tartan. Not some loud red abomination, nor canary coloured eyesore. :lol:

Welcome to the board! I echo the sentiments of the others in your choice of tartan.

Rob (who is patiently awaiting his Douglas Grey Ancient Kilt from Kathy Lare.)

Douglas Ancient Grey?

Aaaaaaaaargh... I really want one of those my self. The old Black and Grey Glory, symbolic of the Douglas name it self. A weave of mist and shadows.

Zak,

WELCOME from a fellow Irish, Kilted, and Proud person.

Friends abound here!

Welcome to the board! That is one colorful avitar you got there!
