Just ordered my first kilt!

... Michigan Up North tartan ...

Hey, that's a nice tartan! Congratulations. I'll be looking forward to seeing it when it arrives as well.

Thanks for the shared enthusiasm everybody! Yeah, the wait is going to be unbearable. I'm hoping that slowly putting together the rest of my outfit in the meantime might help to assuage the anticipation a bit.

@xman - Thanks! Yeah, we got really lucky that we have such a nice tartan for our state, and it was designed by somebody from the northern portion of the lower peninsula, so while not quite the U.P., I still feel like it's a bit more representative for me.

Congratulations! I like the Michigan Up North tartan as well. I would like a kilt in that tartan someday too. Definitely don't forget the pictures when it arrives.

As this is your first kilt, are you getting any accessories (hose, sporran, etc)?

Yes indeed, sir! I'm having a Ferguson Britt sporran in wolverine fur made for me. I intend on getting a pair of Mr. Newsome's royal cuff hose, probably the Celtic knot design. I'm thinking of an Argyle jacket from the STM in the gamekeeper Ettrick tweed. I have my mind set on all the other accoutrements as well, if you care to know.
