    USAK Douglas is here!

    Been waiting for this one! Saw the mailman drive up and put the vehicle in park, so I knew he had a package for me!

    So here we go.

    What is this?



    Fresh out of the box and still folded:


    Front:


    Back, pleated to the black strips bordered by navy blue. I really like this, it darkens the look in the back over pleated to the white stripe, and I liked it better than pleated to the sett.


    Quick try on before my next conference call:


    Pleat shot:


    Great work by Rocky and crew again! They are great to work with, and they were diligent in talking with me to insure that I would like the look pleated to the black stripe (I do, I do!). There was concern about a possible "lawn chair" effect, but I don't see it that way at all.

    Again, kudos to Rocky and his great kiltmakers!

    It looks good to me and I don't see any lawn chair effect either.

    Congratulations! It looks good on you, front and back. Thanks for all the pics. They tell a good story of Whoopie! and pride.

    As a Clan Douglas Society member AND a fan of USAK, congrats -- it looks great! Is this one wool or PV?

    Congrats! I'm also a Douglas Clan member, and your kilt looks great. I just received an Argyle & vest combo from USAK and I couldn't be happier with it, or their service.

    What a cool idea. Just so folks know what you've avoided, here's my USA Kilts Douglas pleat pattern.
