...on a USA Kilts Casual kilt in the Holyrood tartan!!!

:-D

I want a wool one but I need something else to replace my acryllic kilt until then.

Yay!!! Let the jonesing begin.

BTW, Will it come with any maintenance instructions? I haven't worn PV before but this kilt was highly recommended as an intemediate step up between acryllic and wool.

I'm stoked!!!

Congratulations!!

You won't be sorry. The only instructions I know of are don't have it dry cleaned as that will take off the protective coating that it has on it. My wife washes mine in the washer with the rest of my clothes and hangs it to dry. I can fish around and see if I still have any official instructions but it's been a couple of years since I've bought these.

Awesome! Thanks, mate.

Cheers!

Yes, they come with a care sheet which details the washing instructions. It's actually very simple:

Machine wash cold with like colors
DO NOT use fabric softener
Lay flat to dry

Congratulations.

After a couple of washes, these gets very nice and soft to the touch.

Here's a photo with my husband wearing his Celtic Nations pv, taken at last year's St Louis Tartan Days festival.

Excellent! Thank you, Rocky.

BTW, I usually lay things flat to fry them, too.

I kid.

Thank you for sharing, TurboKittie! Your husband's kilt looks good.

I received a USAkilts Semi-Trad in Holyrood for Christmas. Love it.

Good choice!

Be aware that the unholy Trinity of mud, blood and crud (with a few splashes of beer) do wonderful things to a USAK casual. Enjoy!

That is one helluva nice kilt, mate! Seeing it being worn is very inspiring! I love the sett and felt like stepping up while I get the cash together for wool.

LitTrog, please explain. Thank you.
