Tartan Tweed kilt
This is what I wore to work today.
I made this kilt from some Harris Tweed cloth that I purchased recently. From the small swatch I saw before I bought, I thought it might be some kind of weathered color variation of a MacKenzie tartan or the like. However, when the full peice came I soon discovered that it is not a named tartan at all -- in fact the warp is subtly different than the weft (the light and dark greys are reversed). So I made myself a quick 4 yard box pleated kilt from it, and wore it today with my Harris tweed shooting jacket, matching Ferguson Britt bonnet, Ferguson Britt sporran, and Royal Cuff hose. This is my newest FB sporran, and I cannot recall if I've shown pictures of it on the forum before. I don't really have any good pics that do it justice, really.
Anyway, all this Harris tweed kept me nice and warm on this chilly December day.
Just call me Mr. Tweedy!
