I wanted to post pics of my newest buy, my first wool kilt, and a pic from the place where I got it. I went to the Chicago Highland Games in Oak Brook today, and found a vendor selling a Black Watch ex-rental for $25 in my size. I couldn't pass it up! I also got some green hose and black flashes there, which actually cost me more than the kilt.

The vendor was the Celtic Croft (http://www.kilts-n-stuff.com - the June featured vendor). The kilt was listed in poor condition, but inspection showed that it was in good shape-a closer look let me know that the sewing on the pleats was loose, but still a bargain for the price. I don't know if the wool is 13 oz. or 11 oz. seeing as I have very little experience with wool.

Here's the kilt, new hose and flashes:
