What an inspiration to see all you blokes (and some lasses) involved in this great community of kilt wearers. I've just crossed that divide of "the unitiated" to the grand fraternity of The Kilted. Can't believe how good it is;should've done it years ago. I recently purchased my County Westmeath tartan kilt from a fine mob by name of All Things Tartan (dot com b.t.w.) and they've done a very tidy job indeed at i must add a price better than i could find internationally. well enough plug, i don't work for 'em but i'm just a bit chuffed.
Been wearing this fine garment for about a week now to a well reciving public. I play drums and sing for a living and gigged in it last weekend. My first big outing really, all bekilted, and got an awesome response. These varied from sassy old biddies saying "what're got underneath?" to blokes shaking my hand saying "Powerful mate, proud of yer!" Does this euphoria wear off or what? i'm almost suspicious, almost.
So I've been busting to share my enthusiasm with fellow enthusiasts. Feels good to have company. Cheers.
