Argyll Kilt

**MGMorrison** · 29th October 11, 02:16 PM

Hello all,
My youngest was married last month (Sean- on the left), and I bought kilts from Heather & Thistle, a kilt shop in Keene, NH. The owner, a scotsman, was great, the kilts fit well, and when all was said and done, the cost was $600 each kilt, but worth it. The kilts are beautiful and quite heavy- tagged "Argyll" in the waistbands.

I really enjoyed wearing the kilt, and plan on wearing for all festive occasions. We are all 6'5"-6'7" in height- I think these are 8 yard kilts, knife pleats??

I'd like to order some more- but new to all this terminology. Is Argyll a good company?

I believe the Classic Argyll or "Argyle" style refers the style of jacket that came with the kit.

A good semi-formal out fit.

You guys really look sharp. What is the tartan?

Except that the jackets worn in the picture appear to be Prince Charlie jackets.

MGMorrison, can you tell us where you saw or heard of argyll kilts?

Nevermind, I googled them. I am sorry, I am not familiar with them. Chances are good that someone here is.

Thanks for the reply.

Morrison Modern Red.

O.K., so we're talking about Argyll Bagpipes & Kilts? Sorry, I had never heard of them before. But I'm new to the kilt, so guess I should just wait for the hive mind to answer.

I still love that tartan though.

Wow, looks great!

I really love to get the Morrison Red, either Modern or Weathered.

By the way, bottle green hose and red flashes go great with the tartan.

Thanks-I'll get a pair- where do you order yours?

Welcome, from Inverness-shire. Just so you know, one outfitter's "crail" jacket, might well be another outfitter's "argyll" jacket , for example and until you learn these subtleties it can be very confusing for a newcomer. A trans-Atlantic confusion that bedevils minor technical discussion is the word "dress". Over here, we mean formal and over your side of the Atlantic "dress" appears to include business style attire. After a wee while you will get the hang of it all, I am quite sure. Have fun!
