County Cavan -- Sabres Colors

[possingk]

I stopped into to see Rocky and Kelly to get my US Bicentennial kilt made up, and I showed him the kilt I had been working on. Rocky took me back to show me the different ways to pleat the US Bic kilt, and on the floor I see the following kilt:



and proclaimed that is the closest I have ever seen to a Sabres tartan. It is actually County Ccrest Cavan by Marton Mills. It was one of Rocky's kilts, but Kelly didn't like it so he didn't wear it all that often. I checked with my wife and she loved it, it reminds her of the college colors of our alma mater, so Rocky and I worked out the details and I added kilt number nine to the collection.

Another great visit with Rocky and Kelly and the new kilt will certainly keep me from jonesing for 8 weeks while the US Bicentennial kilt is getting made.

It DOES match pretty well, Keith! I think I'd untuck the jersey though...

I hope you guys made it to Ikea OK.

The directions were great, we got there just fine. Then headed to Longwood gardens, although we waited in traffic for an hour, it was well worth it.

As someone that played hockey for years and years I agree with Rocky. Tucked in jersey don't look right except on one person and that was an exception and not a full tuck. Great looking tartan though, it matches the jersey very well.

Nice looking kilt
I guess making one wasn't good enough?

Making one was a lot of fun, but it was a modern kilt this is a tartan kilt, it is just different. This being a 5 yard wool kilt will be much warmer than my four yard cotton kilt as well, better for hockey games.

You can say that again Oh, I said it for you.

Great! Now if I could only find a black and gold tartan....
P.S.
Rocky's right, untuck that jersey!

The kilt looks great with the jersey. I am somewhat skeptical that the jersey untucked would not look right.
