    Very nice indeed @Glen48! You were an SD&G Highlander? The current CO is an xmarks member!

    Hi Nathan,

    Thanks. I was indeed an SDG more than a few years ago. I have wanted one for a long time. Actually its the current CO who gave me the info I needed. He was very helpful.

    I wanted the exact same per the regimental standard.

    It was made and woven by Strathmore Woolen Co. They're the official manufacturer for the regiment. I went for the NCM pattern, which contrary to the officers pattern has no fringe.

    Agree with Sharkman, the pleating to the stripe is superb! Great looking kilt all round.
