    First Kit wearing EVER!

    The past weekend was our first Renaissance Faire of the season and I was finally able to wear my kilt. The weather was poor, low 40s and rainy, but I wore it with pride and even influenced others to wear theirs the next day. It was just an economy kilt but it will work as I finalize my family history and get my desired kilt ready.

    All in all I love it. Glad I found this forum and glad I chose to wear it!

    Good to go Kraig; the first day of your kilted life and you became an ambassador as well. There's no turning back now.

    Next, we need some pictures!

    I don't have a proper sporran or kilt belt at the moment. I have my belt on order though and I am making my own chain sporran belt. Once I have it all together I will post up some pics

    Careful of that chain belt. Chains have a way of gradually wearing out the fabric of the kilt. If you can find a leather strap (or repurpose a belt from Goodwill) that will help protect your kilt.

    I use very narrow, very long ladies' belts. Cheap at some of the discount big-box stores - $15 or less.

    Great ideas all!

    Also, thanks for the heads up on the chain. I am using a light aluminum so I am hoping it will not harm too much.

    As for the knees, I think it was the angle of the picture. I had knee for all to see!
