I received my Isle of Skye semi-trad yesterday and it is a beauty. I also got my argyll jacket and vest, and I absolutely love them. I've been wanting and argyll jacket and vest for a long time. So today I wore it for my walk in the park. I wore it with my 5-yd 16 oz wool Ireland's National. I had to stop and Lowe's and wore it there as well. With the temperature in the mid 40's I was plenty warm with the kilt, jacket, and vest.

Really no special occasion. I just had to wear it. It felt nice to be dressed up, and boy did it ever draw attention. People seemed to be respectful rather than just the usual smiles - like I was someone of importance, like a dignitary. Probably just my imagination.

I also have a Thompson Carmel semi-trad, a warrior casual, and a Caledonia casual on order. So all together, I'll have 5 semi-trads and 4 casuals. I really like USA Kilts, and Rocky and Kelly are great folks.

That argyll jacket and vest has really hooked me. Now I'm thinking about ordering another in tweed. Why not just dress up a bit once in a while? Nothing wrong with going to the park for a walk and looking extra good.
