For my first kilt I went to a Celtic festival in Phoenixville where USA Kilts used to be. My friends convinced me to at least try one on so I selected the Irish National tartan they didn't because the guy was Black and the woman was Jewish and didn't think it was appropriate (not that I care... I've been telling my Black friend that the sistas seem to appreciate a kilted guy). Anyway, I declined to get one at that time.
Well, after lunch and a couple of beers they convinced me that I should reconsider, so I did, and they still had one in my size, so the rest is history.
I'm expected to wear one when I visit my older Jewish friend, and I keep working on the guy to try it. A 511Tactical was a hit at the local Juneteenth celebration though.
