    New to kilts.

    My name is John. I live in the very conservative Shenandoah Valley of VA. I will be purchasing a kilt soon...very soon. Most people I talk to are very open about seeing a man in a kilt. Some think I am crazy, including my lovely wife

    I have never seen anyone in this area wearing a kilt, so I may be setting a new standard here If anyone on this forum is from this area, I'd like to hear from you! I could use any advice you can give.

    ,John

    Welcome.

    My best friend from high school lives in VA (teaches at UVA) and he just attended my son's wedding, with his boys, and brother...all fully kilted.

    Ah, what is more conservative than an Orthodox priest? (that's me)

    A kilted Orthodox priest (that's me)

    But I'm not the only one, am I Kiltman?

    Welcome and Greetings from the Deep South!!!!!

    Wear a kilt in Shanandoah and I bet you'll hear A LOT of "I've got one at home" and "I never thought of wearing it outside of (name formal event or games)."

    MANY Scots settled in that area of Virginia (and the area next door that left and called itself "West Virginia"). AND a large number of these have kilts at home or want one. Be the conduit that helps other wear what they have or help the kilted wannabes become the kilted rabble of Virginia.
