    Perfect Pleats on a Casual Kilt

    I love the Isle of Skye tartan. Its beautiful. And its meaningful since my ancestors came from the Trotternish Peninsula of Skye.

    I have an Isle of Skye tartan kilt - top of the line hand sewn from 16 ounce Lochcarron Strome by the best kiltmaker in America. Spilled orange juice on it once and freaked me out. So I've wanted a knock around kilt in Isle of Skye tartan.

    Figured I needed a couple more hot humid weather kilts so ordered an Isle of Skye USA Kilts Casual.

    I know Rocky and Kelly and now Mac do good work. I've owned 25 USA kilts to date.

    But CHECK THIS OUT!



    I DO NOT HAVE THIS KILT ON BACKWARDS - those are the pleats. 17 pleats 2" deep with 1 1/2" reveal.

    Amazing craftsmanship! Note how the tartan on the sporran strap loops match the kilt tartan.

    Now you know why I keep coming back for more.

    Here's the frontside.



    Sorry if the pics are a bit dark. Raining today and couldn't get any outdoor pics.
