XMarks CCK

[McMurdo]

Well I thought I would finally write a review of my latest kilt, it's a five yard 16oz wool Xmarks tartan kilt from Peter at Canadian Casual Kilts I picked it up at the Fergus Highland games. I have worn it often as I find it to be very comfortable. As with my Maple Leaf kilt the fit and finish are wonderful and Peter was a joy to work with.

The wool came from the damaged lot from Fraser Kirkbright, Peter looked over it and showed me the wool before he got started to make sure that I was OK with it, let me say that I did not see anything wrong with the wool or the selvedge, nor did Peter, once I had given my approval the work started.

I am very happy with this kilt as it is my first 5 yard wool kilt I was not sure what to expect, I have been pleasantly surprised, I was unsure whether it would be too light or too heavy, however I find the weight is perfect for the summer months yet it is warm enough to wear in the evening. I would like to thank Peter again for the wonderful kilt, and Gordon Kirkbright for making the wool available, thanks guys I could not be happier with the end result.


I tried to get a picture tonight but it is a wee bit dark I will get better shots in daylight but for now here are the pictures I have:
