Took the words right out of my mouth, Mac!

Where can I get one of those sweaters? (jumper, pull-over? in UKspeak)

It looks like a standard military sweater, so I would suggest any good surplus store or catalog.

That is a beautiful Cilt.

The jumper is from one of the Army and Navy stores in the city. Cost £12 (GBP). They come in Dark Green and Dark Blue. They certainly keep you warm when the bad weather sets in. And thanks for the compliment about the Cilt Millar.

I've got a couple too. Novack's downtown used to carry them, I don't know if they still do. They were fashionable for a week in one of the stores my daughter shops in. The surplus store at Gibralter may be your best bet, or the surplus booth inside Gibralter. The one outside has the older stuff, inside has newer stuff like the new Canadian como. Their prices are good, I bought my (kilt) web belt at the booth.
Not sure if they'd be open today. The one outside is open during the week, the booth is a weekend site.

PS They're in different service colours, including black (UK police), very cool.

Called the store at Gibralters, they're closed today but machine pointed to a website. Here's the link to colours and prices: http://www.fcsurplus.ca/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=2386

For people wanting to order from away: for whatever it's worth, this company has been in London as a storefront for almost as long as I can remember. I've shopped there many times, didn't know they were online.

I love to see a kilt/Cilt in terrian as it were It looks like it belongs either you are striding thourgh the Heather or taking a walk in the hills.
Nice Picture Derek (The wife took it no doubt Tee Hee).

Those ski pole type sticks are v. popular here in Norway they even have classes to learn power walking or Nordic walking as they call it here.
