Welcome from Southern California, beautiful downtown North Hollywood...

I'm with Computergeek for sure!! Stillwaterkilts.com is THE place to start. No point in forking out hundreds of dollars, then deciding you're not into it, right?

They start with a 'Thrifty' for about $28.00.
Some Kilts can go as high as $800.00! (Hand-sewn/woven wool etc.).
Frugalcorner.com is another company with less strain on the ol' wallet.

Both of the above deal in traditional tartans etc.

But there are Amerikilts, Utilikilts etc. which are a more Americanized version, in sold colors, Tan, black, camoflage,even leather etc. with pockets & studs.

Lots of us have a bit of each.

Welcome from Vancouver, Canada and Inverness, Scotland. You might pik up a copy of J Charles Thompson's "So You're Going to Wear the Kilt". It's a good start along the kilted pathway.

Welcome to the rabble. I would re-iterate what other have said about Stillwater Kilts. Other questions to ask yourself, when and where are you going to wear your kilt, will influence how much you'll spend for a kilt.

Welcome to XMarks!

I think that a contemporary kilt is a good way to start - I have 3 Utilikilts, and I recently bought a "traditional" kilt (Stillwater Nightstalker tartan). Utilikilts aren't cheap, though, but they do have a scrach-and-dent list that comes out every month or so. For me, a contemporary kilt can replace jeans or shorts without feeling like you are dressed up.

Welcome. I highly recommend that you start by reading this free publication: Kilts and Tartans Made Easy by Dr. Nick Fiddes. There is also a wealth of information from kilt and tartan historian Matt Newsome available here.

Best regards,

Jake

P.S. If those sources don't hold the answer, don't forget that the search feature is your friend

Don't forget the X-Mart kilt, this is a do it yourself kilt made out of fabric that can be found at Joann Fabric or if you Wal-Mart still carries fabric.
