    Welcome, my friend. My first kilt was also a Gunn, but it was Ancient Colours (much nicer in my opinion!!!!). It was tailored for me in Aberdeen in 1973, was my only kilt for 27 years, still fits me and still looks like new - although I had the straps replaced about fifteen years ago!

    You do realise, I hope, that you will not be able to hold back as I did, for 27 years, before acquiring several more kilts?!! ;)

    Congrats on your first kilt. Seeing peoples reactions is just one of the many benefits of being kilted.

    Congrats!
    The first time out kilted is always a bit nerve-wracking, but it does get easier.

    Congratulations on the first kilt! And I love your response to your Dad's question!

    Congrats on the Gunn Modern. That's what my DH wears.

    I do find the Gunn Ancient more distinctive with pleasant colors, but you can wear either proudly.

    Good answer for your dad, too!

    Don't know how I missed this thread the first time around, but, Welcome!

    When you don't get a reaction from others, it makes it easier to feel like you're not wearing anything out of the ordinary, which makes it easier to wear your kilt more often.

    Welcome!
