    Kilts Nos. 84 and 85 have arrived!

    Yes folks, the two latest additions to The Kilt Kollection have been delivered.

    No.84 - This 6 yarder from The House of Bruar, at Blair Atholl in Perthshire, is in their 'Erskine' tweed. It is a fine, machine stitched, no-nonsense garment which makes a great day-wear kilt for this time of year:





    No.85 - Is a different kettle of fish! This is a 13oz, full 8 yarder from TartanKilts.com (The House of Edgar) and is in their exclusive Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS) tartan. It is beautifully tailored, took only three weeks from ordering to delivery and is supremely comfortable:




    These photos have been added to my on-line Photo Album.

    #84 looks perfect for making the rounds of the estate. I'd like to have that in a Newsomesque box pleat.

    Fantastic, Hamish! They are both beautiful, and beautifully presented as usual. I am especially glad to see the first one as I recently acquired a bit of tweed with a kilt in mind. This is helping to get the "kilting gears" moving in my head. Thanks!

    Hamish,

    Two excellent new aquisitions, you put all our efforts to shame. But I am somewhat amazed to see that his Lairdship now possesses now at least two hats! There is hope for you yet.

    Cheers

    LOL! Jamie, you know I will never be a 'hat-wearer'! The cap in these photos was selected because I thought it added a little more of the 'country look' to the ensemble - not because I enjoy wearing it! Actually, it is in the same 'Windowpane' tweed as my first House of Bruar kilt from two years ago, and came with it:-
