Who have you given a kilt to?

[Panache]

I know a great number of X Markers have done their best to get their fellows into the kilt.

I thought it might be fun to share our experiences.

Here's my (and the F-H.C.A.G.'s) list, I should note that I am very thankful of Jerry V. at Stillwater Kilts for giving me an affordable option to getting men in kilts!



My Dad:

Hose, flashes, sporran, and Irish National tartan Kilt from Stillwater kilts ( plus a converted tweed braemar jacket from my lovely wife). This was his Christmas present so he could join in our Nor Cal Burns Night supper. He has now been to two and looks forward to them!


My Father -in-law:

SWK McLeod of Harris kilt and flashes. He is a McLeod and purchased the rest of his kilt from Jerry V. at Stillwater. He looks wonderful in a kilt.


My friend George (X Marker PiperGeorge):

When his house burned down and he lost all his highland attire I gave him a SWK Black Watch tartan kilt and flashes and Alan H. gave him a SWK sporran, hose, and a belt/ buckle to see him through his competition season. An acrylic kilt may not serve him throughout his piping career, but it made a lot of difference to be able to get it to him right then and there when he needed it to perform the next weekend.


My Brother-law-law:

The F-H.C.A.G. basted and pressed the pleats of my trusty worn but still wearable SWK McLeod of Harris kilt. I also gave him a basic SWK sporran and McLeod flashes. He is definitely a modern and casual kilt wearer, but he liked it!


My friend Jon:

Even though my very old and dear friend Jon sells Scottish tartan goods both online and in his brick and mortar store, he has never worn a kilt.
I gave him my Royal Stewart tartan acrylic kilt, hose, flashes, and my SWk braided sporran. Hopefully I will gt him to join XMTS, but we will will see.


I can honestly say that it would be doubtful if any of these gentlemen would have ever worn a kilt had not they been gifted one (save George).

It is my great pleasure to say that all enjoyed and looked quite dashing in their highland finery.

So I put it to the good gentlemen and ladies of XMTS...

Who have you kilted?


Cheers
