I've been lurking on the site for a while so I thought it would be a good time to introduce myself.
The name is Robert Wright and I live in Cloudcroft New Mexico 9000 feet above sea level. I'm the manager/head cook for a small cafe. At the moment I'm saving up to go off to culinary school, when isn't exactly known yet for various reasons that I won't go into.
At the moment I have two kilts, one a 5yard medium weight casual and the other is a 9 yard heavy weight both in the Douglas tartan.
When I was first looking to purchase a kilt I was not aware of any Scottish connection. It was only when I started looking at the available tartans that I found the Douglas connection( my grandmother on my fathers side). At the moment the family geneology has only gone back as far as the Revolutionary War so at the moment I don't know what part of Scotland they came from.
I've been labeled the resident kilt wearer since almost every weekend that I can I'm wearing a kilt. Because I work in a kitchen I will not wear my wool kilts to work but I've been eyeing USAkilts victory kilts as my next kilt purchase. I think two will be enough for work.( Since I paid off my truck I have a fund that I contribute to every week for the purchase of kilts and/or accessories).
Summer is the busiest time of the year for me work wise so I won't be as active as some members but I will make an attempt to keep up .
