I just had a priority box delivered to me by the mail man. He was surprised too how heavy it was. I didn't know what it was either until I looked at the return address; USA Kilts. It is my first tartan, Buccleuch, a sporran and green kilt hose. The chain and sporran added to the weight.

I just tried it on and it feels like I am naked as the material is so much lighter in weight than the Utilikilts I have. I hope I don't freeze. The UK's were so warm and heavy.

The sporran is made really well and I really like the magnetic snap!! The chain for the sporran is way too long, so here is a question -

Do I put the clips on each end in about 6 - 8 inches and let the chain ends hang behind the sporran or do I cut a link and make it shorter that way?

The other thing, and I mentioned this to Rocky too, is that the USA Kilts patch is right where one would put the kilt pin. I was so excited to wear my first kilt pin, a sword and later the XMarkstheScott pin, but I don't think it would look good pined over the patch. Maybe they can make the patch optional or removable.

I will post pictures later. I am wearing it Christmas eve to my parents, then to church and Christmas Day to our family gathering at my wife's sister's. Should be interesting.

DALE.
