Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If you've ever worn a kilt before, this review isn't for you. This is my first kilt, so I'm not a kilt expert. 1. Go measure the thickest part of your waist RIGHT NOW. Don't think you know what it is. And don't think that there is any give in this kilt, either. There isn't. 2. Undo the entire kilt before you try to put it on. Don't try to slide it on like a tube. 3. The flat part goes in the front. The belt loops go in the back. There aren't any in the front. You could wear a belt with this, but it would have to be a wide stiff one to look halfway decent. 4. The buttons go in the front. There are two buckles on the side to help adjust the fit. 5. The pocket flaps on the side can be unbuttoned to store keys and a wallet. There are no pockets for you to stow your hands, if you're used to standing around with your hands in your pockets. 6. The material is very heavy duty, almost like an Army tent, but not as rough. This thing will probably last forever. 7. It seems like a good cross between a work outfit, like for hiking, and a formal outfit, like for a ceremony. I bought a Scotland t-shirt to wear with this, and the t-shirt seems a bit casual and light-duty for it (pajama-like?). I also think I need to get some hiking boots with wool socks to wear with this. 8. If you want to return it, the sellers are very nice and accommodating. But you will also be out 20 bucks. Wearing a kilt for the first time is strange. You initially feel like you are wearing a dress. But when you take it off and put on shorts, you will feel even weirder, like you are wearing some skimpy outfit. So you'll go and put the kilt back on. Now it feels cool. Functional. Manly, because you are ready for anything: formals, chopping wood, laying around, flashing women who ask the obvious. You then cut off the tag and smile, because you now own a kilt, and you can feel your beard growing even thicker.
