    New Kilt Thursday, first public outing Saturday.

    This is a pretty big week for me. My first kilt arrived on Thursday. I wore it around the house a bit to get a feel for it. Then we hosted a family Christmas, and I thought, it's time to debut it. After every one left, we walked over to the closest pub. I was naturally a bit nervous, but I just feigned extreme confidence and it went over really well. Everyone wanted to get a good look at it. It was just the sort of debut I needed! Anyhow, here's a pic....

    Very nice, who made it? What tartan is it? Inquiring minds want to know. By the way, nicely put together outfit, congratulations you wear it well.

    Acting confident is a great way to learn how to be confident. You look great, and there was nothing to worry about anyway.

    Good job,
    Rex.
    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

    Thank you all for your kind words. I had the kilt made through Scotweb (though I wish I had known about the discount for xmarks members!). It is made in the Lynch tartan.

    Well since you didn't provide a shot of the pleats, we gotta know-Box pleat; knife pleats and is it pleated to the sett or to stripe (if so, which color)?

    The kilt looks great BTW.

    Good on ya Josh. The confidence that you had to muster up on this trip will soon be replaced by the real confidence that comes from/with kilt wearing. congratulations on making that first nervous trip out of the house. The more you wear your kilt out the more confident and comfortable you will be come.
