New Kilt Thursday, first public outing Saturday.

That really is a striking tartan. I don't think you mentioned: how did the kilt go over at the Christmas gathering?

[joshmccl]

Thanks again. It went over really well. I was fortunate in knowing all the folks at the pub and they were all the friendly supportive type. I know a few guys in town that would be quick with the verbal jabs, but I could care less. I like it and I have a few stock responses ready .

Looking good. I might have suggested a different colour of hose to match main colour of either the kilt or the pullover, but these do work OK as their colour also appears in the stripes of the tartan.

I was naturally a bit nervous, but I just feigned extreme confidence and it went over really well. Everyone wanted to get a good look at it. It was just the sort of debut I needed! Anyhow, here's a pic..

Tips for nervousness (i.e. my path)
1. Wear your kilt as much as possible and enjoy the comfort.
2. Get another kilt.
3. Wear your kilts as much as possible and enjoy the comfort.
4. Get another kilt.
5. Wear your kilts as much as possible and enjoy the comfort.
6. Get another kilt.
7. go to step 1

Rather than being nervous about what other think about you just think about all of those poor saps wearing p*nts. Just enjoy the comfort.

P.S. nice kilt

Josh, you "cut" a fine figure.

Stylin'! And "mad props" (as the homies down at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue say) for starting out with 16 ounce wool. Took me a heap of time to learn that lesson!

As for the price, to quote an old friend of mine: Guru say, The cheap pay twice!

[joshmccl]

Thanks. I owe a little to my fiances great-uncle. Always in a kilt when I see him, funerals and weddings mostly, I approached him on the topic of weights as I was intending to order my kilt and he said to just get the heaviest I can, always. It was good advice.
Oh and I had a good laugh with ncof300d's post. Good advice.

A Red Wings fan at that! That rocks!

[thecompaqguy]

you look fantastic in that kilt, mate! It goes really well with the shirt tie and waistcoat. I showed my new kilt off to friends and family for the first time last week and I was nervous, but bravado seemed to pay off. One guy who was teasing me, showed interest and now wants a kilt of his own!

They go well with boots too.

I've been to the shops in it, to my wife's surprise. She asked me 'were there any stares?' expecting a reaction. I replied 'no, the shop was on the ground floor'...

[joshmccl]

Funny one. Thanks for that. It's a bit too cold for a trip to the shops here just yet. But when the weather improves, who knows?
