I wasn't much taken with the web image of design of it, but that kilt looks very nice.

Oh, and the hose are nice too !
Howard,

My Iowa kilt is from Matt Newsome. He can get "small-batch" runs of obscure tartans from at least one Scottish weaver, as can Barb T.

The colours are actually "ancient colours", so the tartan is much more "subdued" than the modern variant you see on some of the Iowa Scottish organisation's web sites.
