Saffron (MOD shade) 13oz kilt (9yd)
Ok, I'm a little late in posting this as I've had my kilt since October, but better late than never. I LOVE this kilt! It's been years since I've had a made-to-measure kilt, so I might just be happy to have a kilt that fits me perfectly. The fabric is from Marton Mills in England and is just about the exact shade of MOD saffron, as worn by the Royal Irish Rangers, among others. It's got a slight nap to it, as compared with Lochcarron fabrics, but looks sharp and is extremely comfortable.
I wore it, a dark green waistcoat with Ulster Defence Regiment buttons, my marcella shirt and bowtie, and dark green mohair hose from shepherdswalks.co.uk (a bit pricey as hose go, but if you want the right knit pattern and colour for the regimental look, they're the only place to get them without having somebody hand knit them) to the local Burns Night. It earned me many, many compliments!
Now aside from the kilt itself, Kiltstore.net offered a good price, impeccable workmanship, and first class customer service.
Thank you Kiltstore.net!
