again thank you for you kind comments folks it does a man good to read compliments like this especially on this forum i feel as if passed "the test" in some aspects with my choice in tartan, it`ll be nice when i can compare styles of kilt when my younger brother picks his up for his wedding next year as he bought his from a different supplier in Glasgow

i was also wondering should i remove the white thread on the base of the kilt I'm sure i read that its to be removed before wearing on here before
