    Got My First Kilt

    Well I just got my first kilt and accessories, I got a Kilt package due to a time frame I needed it, it is a off the rack in American Heritage.

    Is it on right except for the flashers need to be a bit more around to the front?

    Looks fine to me, but I'm no expert. Agree on flashes.
    If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!

    Thanks, I have tried reading everything I can find but not sure about the
    Balmoreal and the ribbons??? Or even if the Balmoreal fits with the casual look?

    Not bad for a first time and no doubt after you have read more here and elsewhere you will develop your own style. However, whichever style you choose, there is one thing you need to remember (your third picture illustrates my point well) is that the whole of the kilt bottom needs to be parallel with the ground, ------yours is fine at the front, but the back needs to be pulled down a tad.

    Many forget to check this point and it is really handy if you can train your wife/girl friend to keep an eye open for you on the "rear view", as you go hither and thither.

    Some of us need no training be done, it comes natural for them to gaze upon such beauty!
