My first kilt!

[Santa Wally]

Lad, you wear it well. You've got all the shots, front, side, back and the pleats. I understand about the camera angle from the photo of my first kilt. My wife was standing on hirer ground than I was on, not good. Now I have her trained to bend down a bit when taking a photo so the camera is more at waist level. Better result. My first kilt, march of 2009, now I have six. Beware of the addiction.

Thanks all for the comments

I went out kilted again today .... I can see myself wanting to wear the 'one-legged pants' from now on.

I'm sure I'll get some other kilts down the road but I'll try to curb any kind of 'collecting addiction' to kilt pins - to save money

--------

Months ago, these boots were pretty worn (not leather) and had these cracks across the toes where they bend. I painted some scenes in panels and the toe area and heel and attached these scarves which cover the cracks. The scarves go under the laces and wrap a bit around the legs a couple times.

Perhaps I'll make some longer leg-wrappings based on what I see of Viking and Anglo-Saxon leg-wrappings.

I'll probably get some greenish hose socks (for now ...they are kind of expensive) ... maybe not any 'flashes' but use ribbons or cord to tie around - a bit less showy and more archaic maybe. I've seen pictures of these types of hose ties in old paintings by R. R. McIan in the 1800's

"you don't see anyone walking around in them often here except" ME!!! =D

I don't think I've seen you ... I've seen a couple customers in utilikilts walking around the Saturday seaport market and one other vendor who wears a kilt (I'll be the second I guess). If I see someone walking down the street somewhere I'll ask them if they go to this forum


I'd like to figure out some sort of thing I can attach to my belt - maybe there's something around here I can improvise something out of.

Thanks again for the kind remarks!

Hi lad,

That makes sense though, as I rarely go to the seaport market since it left Keith's Brewery. Mostly you'll find me kilted around campus, almost always when I give a lecture, and always when I attend a university function. Other than that try looking for a kilted fellow in the Triangle or the Shoe Shop ;)

Now that I know your there lad I'll have to make a stop down to the market!

Halifax is a fantastic place with such a strong Scots-Irish heritage its a bit of a surprise you don't see more, I agree...

take good care!

Looks great! And, welcome to the club. I'm glad you clearly stated it's your "first" kilt- several more to come in the future.

You look born to the kilt, lad. Here's to many more in your collection!!

Seriously, I'm not sure if you're wearing the kilt of the kilt's wearing you. Regardless, you look perfectly comfortable kilted.
