A Kilt Lives On

[Thebigeman77]

As I came across Alan H's sale of his Black Denim kilt I couldn't pass up the opportunity for the price, so I threw the idea to my mother as a possible Christmas gift. Even if it is a little large for my waist, I figured my everyday belt would do a good job of keeping it up and comfortable.

Well, it arrived today and, lo and behold, I was right. It's slightly large but I quite like it. After I tried it on I ironed it and got it looking good as new. It'll certainly be more ironing work than my USAK Casual or SWK standard but it's certainly something I can wear around campus in any weather.

Now, I know you all like pictures, so I had my brother take a few.



a shot of the ironed and dried pleats. There's a little flaring from putting it on again, but it looks good enough for me (plus I don't mind a little wrinkling, that's bound to happen).



And finally a quick shot at the bottom, with my trusty mutant sporran (which my friends have nicknamed Thumper because of the rabbit fur facing)



I'm very pleased with this kilt so far and can't wait to go back to school and wear it regularly, wrinkles or not.

Thanks a bunch Alan H, this will see good use!
