My first kilt, and why i need another one.

[Tobus]

I'm glad you've had a re-awakening, of sorts, with respect to the kilt. And since you're here on this forum, I assume it's because you want to learn more about kilts and how to wear them. Great!

You should know that Renaissance fairs are pretty much the 'fringe' of kilt-wearing. What you see there will mostly be costumes, and absurd ones at that. It can be great fun, of course, to put on a costume for a Ren fair, but I would very much encourage you to look into the more traditional and historical kilts and Highland clothing. If you're going to invest in another kilt, might as well make it an outfit that you can wear somewhere besides Ren fairs and costume parties, right?

The good news is that since you don't plan to buy until next summer, there's plenty of time to hang out here and absorb the excellent advise of our very knowledgeable members.

Welcome aboard!

Hey...we don't care how you got the kilt-bug, we're just glad you did and that you're on the forum. As I've said before, the tipping point for me was watching Monarch Of The Glen and seeing how cool Duncan looked in the kilt.

This is the best place to be if you're stalking a new kilt. Get that large jar and put it on your dresser and start tossing your spare change in it every night. When deals come up, somebody here will call them to the forum's attention so keep your eyes open.

Good job on your son's part, too. You might find yourself having to look for two kilts...one for you and one for him.

Best
