I would second all of the above advice. I got my first UK in July and wore it to a Queensryche concert, the next day. My wife found the UK site a couple of years ago and I have wanted one ever since. We made a trip to Seattle before the show to get it. I walked into the store, told the gent there that I was here to get a UK, picked out a Choc Workman. Funny thing is they do not have a fitting room, the gent determines your size, picks one off the rack, has you turn to face away from the door. Opens the UK, steps up behind you and says drop 'em, he then wraps it around you and you snap it up. No problem for me, wore it out of the store, and the rest of the weekend. Lots of compliments from men as well as the Ladies, as a matter of fact, the first comment and high five was from a lady gotta love that. I actually wore it to work on Friday. Just keep wearing it and you will get more comfortable with the idea. Wear it like you have been wearing all your life! By the way I am 47, and am now planning several more both UK's and Trads as well.
