My first Kilt just arrived.

Wear it out! Don't take the sgian dubh to the bar, but wear your kilt! You'll love it!

Few things to remember (I know Stillwater says all of this in the card provided with the kilt, but I'll repeat it): pleats go in back, basting stitches come out, kilt hangs to top of the knee, and be prepared for a lot of attention!

or to the middle of the knee, if one is more comfortable that way.

Way to go Rogerson785
Welcome to the addiction. The Black Watch is a great kilt and from SWK no less. I got one just before Christmas and wore to all of our holiday parties along with my MacLaren. In deed wear it with pride! Make sure it fits properly before you take out those basting stitches. Mine will need to be hemmed, but I'm a short guy.

Congratulations on your first kilt. If it fits, carefully remove the basting stitches, and wear in your home to practice sitting and getting up in a kilt. You will attract a lot of positive attention kilted from the young ladies. I do as a very old man, much to the surprise of the younger trousered men.
