    I did it!

    So after spending a very enjoyable weekend up in Prescott AZ for the games there I finally ordered my first kilt just a few min ago from SWK. I ended up getting the USMC Tartan. Picked that one for two reasons, one I liked how the pattern looked and two, to honor my father who's a retired colonel.

    I still hope to save up and get a full 8yd wool in the Bruce Modern tartan eventually. But I think I'm off to a good start with the SWK. Of course now I have to get a belt, sporran, kilt pin... LOL

    Congratulations and you should check your front door, It may have arrived an hour before you ordered it. (just kidding - but do expect it very shortly, Jerry give great service).

    Seriously, and SWK was my first kilt and I'm very happy with it.

    Yeah, that's about right. I've been thinking about getting a Leatherneck for a while now.

    Yeah, Jerry has somehow found a way to circumvent space and time. Don't get to comfy on the couch, the kilt will be there any time now

    Agreed. Realistically you'll probably get the kilt Saturday in the mail. You'll have to wear it out. I've got a decent sporran that you can borrow if you'd like to for the night. I'll bring it along with me just in case. Also if I remember correctly, i think you mentioned that it's your birthday also. Might have been someone else, but I thought it was you that said that.

    congrats on the new kilt though, look forward to having a pint with you.

    Hey Azflyboy
    Check out the kilts pins at SWK. The safety pin style is basic, great looking, and inexpensive.
