County Antrim - Marton Mills 13oz wool

**BEEDEE** · 12th June 07, 12:16 PM

Finally the jonesing is over and the new kilt arrived yesterday. Too late for the Scottish Heritage Society picnic last Saturday but got to wear it to a committee meeting last night and in to town today. Really like the colors and the pattern. Rocky did a great job pleating to sett.

So here's the photos:

Here's the front

and the back

Another back

And another thread asked about the kilting selvage on Marton Mills fabric. I cannot see any problem and this is what it looks like

I originally never considered the County Tartans but the more I see of them the more I'm considering one. Many of them really have some awesome colors. Congrats on a beautiful kilt!

I've pretty much been feeling the same lately. I have some ties to Antrim, so I would strongly consider that among my most wanted Co. tartans. Besides, it looks really good (& I'm not too big on "red" tartans).

Congratulations!

I would like a County Mayo someday. That looks fantastic.

That looks great congratulations on the new kilt, I hope you will enjoy your USAKilt as much as I do.

Wow, that is nice.

Wow what a sharp looking kilt. I really like the way the kilt pin looks on it too.
Thanks for the picture of the selvedge, it has helped with the mill decision I am trying to make.

I hope you have many years of good health and good cheer in your new kilt!

I like that Tartan a lot, Brian. I think the selvedge issue has always been with the P/V and not the wool.
And I see I was wrong, you have the tan leathers from Cavscout.

That is a very nice tartan.

A great-looking kilt!
I am soooo envious - the Antrim is #1 on my "wish-for" list. My great grandfather was an artisan in county Antrim, and it's through him I trace my proud heritage.

So nice when Jonesing ends - and we get to see the pictures
