Black Leather Stillwater Kilt Jacket

[Panache]

I had been saving my pennies for an item covered by Rule #11 and found that I could no longer purchase it (due to an ICD device implanted on the right side of my chest (and I'm right handed...nuff said). I also had just had some really good news from my cardiologist about my cholesterol level (my level was fine for a normal guy my age but not one with an artificial valve.) He had threatened to put me on medication and through changing my diet* I dropped my cholesterol levels by something like 23% and lost 11 lb. to boot I decided I would reward myself using some of the money I had saved up.


Now a while ago I contacted Jerry over at Stillwater kilts looking to buy one of his black leather kilt jackets. He offered me an opportunity to buy a one-off version in brown and I jumped at the chance.

(see my thread about it here http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...sporran-71594/ )

Now I completely love the jacket, am throughly happy with it, and have worn it a lot. However I have found myself putting in on and then taking it off because the brown just didn't work with some of my outfits.

I decided to treat myself to one in black.

It arrived with the usual Stillwater Kilts speed and I am as happy about this one as the brown one. In fact for some reason this jacket has gotten more positive comments than the brown one from the people at my daughter's school (go figure).

Speaking of my daughter, here is a photo of her and I after she had played with her elementary school band (clarinet and flute).




I'm wearing a Stillwater Heavyweight Black Stewart kilt and flashes, an embossed Stillwater sporran, my Red Thistles polo shirt, and my new jacket. I think this is a great casual look. If you are a kilt wearer who really isn't into tweed and would like a more modern/casual look the Stillwater leather kilt jackets are a great option

* I had no idea that pretty much every single food I dearly enjoyed (butter, steak, butter, sausage, butter, burgers, butter, everything pizza, butter, fried chicken, butter, calamari, butter, shrimp, butter, donuts, butter, milkshakes, butter, pastries, all German food, butter...etc ) was loaded with cholesterol! It was pretty hard and I miss those things (especialy butter)....a LOT!!!! Still I am pleased to avoid having to take another drug and my doctor's approval stamp on my health. And that is no small thing!
