    FS: 16oz. wool (Marton Mills) kilt

    I wanting to sell my 10 yard, 16 ounce, hand sewn, Scottish National. It is ten yards because I had it pleated to the stripe and in order for it to come out right they needed to make it longer (that's what they told me...and they didn't need to tell me anything).

    It is a 36" waist with a 22" drop. This is a beautiful kilt, and in absolutely pristine condition. Perfect for someone wanting to get into a first premium wool kilt. The "swing" is incredible.

    I am selling it because I am jonesing for a MacQueen (Reproduction--Dalgleish).

    The Scottish National is an "open" tartan so anyone can wear it.

    Sold!


    Excuse the photos the dark in the sett is actually a dark navy

    Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.

    Well, despite earlier indications (I hadn't worn the kilt for a year or so) The smallest waist it will fit is a 36". I'm a 36 and I have to close it on the first (closest to the apron) hole.

    There's five holes in the strap, each about 3/4" apart. So, figure...what?...36"-40".

    I shouldn't really say this because the kilt may be sold but...

    You know...the buckle could easily be moved. And then you'd have room to "grow" during the year, and years to come. I'm just the opposite--sometimes during the year I get down to 35".

    Just a thought...

    I know, but I use my kilts to keep me honest in controlling my weight and sloth.
    $15,000 in kilts and another $5,000 in associated garments gives me a big incentive to push away from the table and off my lazy butt when half the wardrobe doesn't fit right. At 62 years the "holiday cheer" removal is getting real difficult and time consuming.
