I usually just put my Kilts on, both legs at a time.

Yeti which budget SWK are you considering as the economy model doesn't have sewn down pleats whereas the stanar does. There are other features of the standard that makes it a much nicer puchase and may be worth the extra.

Well...I talked it out with my fiancee, and it appears y'all have convinced me (and, in a round about way, her), and I will be ordering the following from SWK:

Men's SWK Standard Kilt- Hunting McLeod Tartan
3-Tassel Black Leather Sporran
Leather Kilt Belt with Buckle
Wool-blend Kilt Socks
Solid Green Tartan Sock Flashes
Economy Sword Kilt Pin

Which brings my total to 126.70, plus shipping...I may throw in the matching tartan tie for good measure.

Thank you all again for your advice and input. I'll get pictures up ASAP, but since I won't be ordering until late July/early August (probably after my paycheck on July 30), it'll be awhile...

Also consider that SWK come in 24" length. Make sure that you can get away with his length. If you need shorter check out Frugal Corner.

Another qeustion, since I've worked my (future) order from SWK up to 75 dollars...

Do I have to wear a wide kilt belt, or can I get by with just a normal sized dress belt? Or do I even have to have one at all?

My husband got a kilt with regular (pant sized) belt loops and wears a normal sized black leather belt. It looks just fine.

An Argyll jacket with a waistcoat is very versitile, and the waistcoat will do away with the need for a belt all together.

Tweed sport coats and kilt jackets are generally considered to be more on the "casual"/"country gent" side; Whilst I love tweed, for a more versitile jacket, I would go with a charcoal grey/black colour, which would go with just about anything.

Just joking with your thread title.

1) If you plan to go to the convocation in your kilt, I would not get a thrifty kilt from Stillwater. To the very least, I will get a Standard model from them.

2) If you can't afford to buy a coat that you are going to wear once a year, rent. It also depends on how formal it is. If you are a engaged college student on a budget, you may be able to get by with only a tie and shirt.
