    My first wool kilt

    It arrived last week but this is the first chance I've had to take pictures. It's a 5 yard wool kilt from Rocky at USA Kilts. The tartan is 16 oz Maple Leaf from Batley.

    I love it and I can't wait to wear it out and about. So far I've just worn it around the house. Here's the back.

    And here's the "Hamish" shot.

    The kilt looks great, but what really caught my eye was the waistcoat. I like the straight cut bottom. Where did you get it?

    Congrats -- very, VERY nice indeed!! I love the Maple Leaf sett, and I also love Rocky's wool 5-yarders (currently have three). You look sharp, sir.

    Three of my favorite Kilted joys; wool, Maple Leaf, and Rocky. You look fantastic.

    Looking good and I echo the comments on the waistcoat. Also is that a Mojo Leather sporran?

    Remy, Now I've got mine, it's gorgeous. Rocky is right about that tartan. Pics will have to wait till next week.
    I'm glad you posted your "Let the jones begin" thread and Rocky followed up with a photo post of that tartan in a kilt. That thread and Rocky's comments with the photo caused me to place my order for a 5-yarder in that tartan and start my JONES which has now ended.

    Wally,
    I'm glad your wait is over as well. Rocky emailed me that same photo when I contacted him with some questions on the Batley version of the Maple Leaf. It helped me make my decision as well. He should really post that picture instead of the swatch picture on his website! I can't wait to see your photos of my kilt's "brother".
