I'm in the market for a kilt. I last wore one as a nipper and it was probably a budget cut i.e.minimum cloth.
Attendance at the Knockengorroch World Ceilidh and other Celtic events over the past few years have reawakened the Celtic genes in me and I want to cause maximum mayhem and visual dissonance by purchasing the aforementioned item.
Now to cut to the chase:
I've looked up the MacFarlane tartans and they are not too exciting apart from the hunting and dress ones. I'll probably go for the Black Watch tartan as it's an 'open' tartan i.e. no clan or regional affiliation is needed to wear it.
Selecting the tartan has been easy compared with selecting a maker.
Who do I go for:
A small outfit i.e. family concern?
A flash coporate web site vendor?
Cheap end or eye wateringly expensive?
Go and get measured? - appealing as I could make a drunken weekend of it
Kilt wearers - I seek your counsel!
Surprisingly, my wife has not threatened me with divorce if I go ahead and acquire one.
