My first kilt!

**Makeitstop** · 7th September 07, 09:13 PM

It hasn't been more than 4 hours since I got my hands on my financial aid money (an epic tale for another time) and I have already given in to the urge to fill that kilt shaped void in my life. It doesn't say much for my self control that I bought the kilt before paying my rent and bills, but I'm not worried; There's no way I'll starve in a town where the squirrels are dangerously overpopulated.

But back on topic, the kilt I ordered is a solid black (aka "ninja black") sport kilt, with sewn down pleats and 3" belt loops. No more improvised belted plaid halloween costume thingy for me.

Now I just have to watch as time slows to a crawl...

My first tartan kilt was a sportkilt as well, and I'm fond of it. It's the beginning of a great adventure!

Congratulations on your purchase!

Now go pay some bills, so you don't feel so bad ;)

It's only after I pay the bills that I feel bad.

When you get it, how about some pics?

Way to go, I admire your priorities (and sense of affordability).

HAHAHAHA, I remember having that very same spending habit right before I got married and had kids. It's fun while it's there. And hey, when your crashing at your buddies house in a few months, at least his mom will be checking you out in that awesome kilt. lol!

Seriously, post some pics when you get it. I'd love to see what your getting from sport kilt. I'm curious about some of their goods.

Cheers!

You will find that your first kilt is the most special. That feeling of utter pride and honor as you put that wool kilt around yourself honoring that clan. It is a high you just can't explain, and no feeling ever comes close to it. This is just the beginning. I have 21 kilts, and love it. Welcome to the family and the addiction.

Way to go, Makeit! I hope that your first kilt is everything that you'd want it to be. OMG, Ardchoille, 21??!! Where do you get to wear them? Of course, I shouldn't talk. I'm at about a dozen now <blush> mostly Stillwater, but I have two from Geoffrey Taylor, which are my pride and joy.
