I have worn my kilt to mentor the kids in high school for FIRST robotics. I got nothing but warm receptions. I even found out the other teacher's husband was scottish. Ya just never know... On of the kids on the team want's to make a kilt, another called me "kilted warrior". The only negative I heard was at competition where an older homophobe said "nice skirt". I did have plenty of high school kids complement me though. I say wear it, you might be suprised at the reception!

Hey, I'll bet you know what a Segway is then. I haven't run into any other kilties that recognize such a thing. My wife and I ride them to work and back most days.

My question is not the buckle, which is a beautiful design, but also the size of the buckle. Would you mind re-posting the photo of the belt and buckle with something that we can all relate to "size-wise" such as a quarter or even a ruler or tape? Thanks.

Frumious B,

I'll try and get another picture up, the original picture is with one of my regular jeans belts it is 1 1/2" wide. I am working out the details for a more appropriate width belt (probably 2 1/4") with Steve at Oconee Leather Works. I am really starting to get excited about that!
Cheers,

Marshal,
Since I know that Steve at Oconee won't steer you wrong, that buckle with one of his belts will be a winner.
Your buckle is a delightfully complex rendition of a simple design in repeating patterns. It is balanced and pleasing to the eye and is enhanced by the nicks and abrasions in the silver that show that it has been worn and not put on for show.

Mated with a belt from Steve, it will be ideal for even a semi-formal event.

That shure is a lotta words...let me try it again.

You and that buckle and belt, You-all got CLASS.
