I have a jacket and waistcoat in Poacher tweed which I love, but that kilt is outstanding.

I've had a few different tweed kilts in my collection over the years. Mostly Harris tweed.

A Harris tweed in a tartan -- this is something similar to a weathered MacKenzie but is not a true tartan. The warp and weft are different.

One of the rare photos of me in white hose.

I wore a tweed kilt formally once to a Burns Night.

(trying to demonstrate how to wear a shepherd's plaid).

A two-piece kilt suit (some nameless tweed off of Ebay).

This last one is an Ardalanish Tweed kilt.

Full matching three-piece kilt suit from Harris Tweed.

I love mixing tweed patterns and textures. This is the same jacket & waistcoat from the suit, worn with a different tweed kilt (the one I'm wearing in the shepherd's plaid photo).

And the kilt from that suit worn alone.

Friends in tweed kilts.

That's Brian Wilton of the STA in the center, wearing a kilt from Ardalanish tweed.

Certainly nothing to complain about there!

Herewith my "Rob Roy (Movie)" tweed: Fabric produced by the Islay Woolen Mill for Liam Neeson's character in the movie. First, a pic from a coastal hike a few months ago:

And a closeup of the pleating taken by the kilt maker, Matt Newsome, just before shipping it to me:

I'll be wearing it in "dressier" circumstances in Japan at my sensei's birthday party a week from Sunday, and will post another pic or two after that.

Right, then -- Who's next?

OK, I'll go next. This is an Rkilts tweed. I really like it... so much so that I can't decide between my next kilt being a tartan or a tweed... (oh yeah, Iknow someone will say, "you get tartan in tweed!). You guys look really fine. Terrific tweeds on all fronts! The following photos are Sunday shots.
