Thank you for the advice. After speaking to some Kilted people first hand I got a mixture of advice. One advised I get a cheap acrylic Kilt as my first purchase for the sake of getting used to wearing it, sitting in it properly, and not having to worry so much about tearing it and such. He also said that when it comes to a Tartan, you should pick something closer to home, like the national tartan for the U.S, or even Maryland as you suggested just now. Your advice was very helpful thank you, although St. Andrew doesn't help me personally since I am Jewish. I was actually referred to a Jewish tartan and it's actually the one I am considering at this point. I can't get closer to home then the religion I was born into can I?
