    Ron, you were right. I love this kilt. Kathy did a wonderful job on it.

    I have always liked the Antarctic tartan and its cousin, the Arctic tartan.

    It looks good on you. Congratulations on a very nice acquisition.

    Just so glad it has a new home where the pleats can dance in the cold winds. You rescued it before it melted. And, it looks great on you! and I detect a wee bit of the matching tartan tie above the waistcoat...

    Yes, I was wearing the matching tie. The outfit got several compliments today.

    And here it is in the snow, after I traded the tie for a seal & otter hat...

    Great pictures. I sincerely hope this kilt will keep you warm. Anyhow I do not see blue legs. A good sign!
    Congratulations with this superb acquisition.
