New Ferguson Weathered Ordered

[IRISH]

catching up with rocky at the bethlehem pa celtic festival yesterday, i was measured for a new ferguson weathered kilt. random thoughts:
- it was a stunningly beautiful day and the festival was mobbed
- the usa kilts stall was full of activity. hoping the till was bursting by day's end.
- after dieting and exercise over the summer, i was pleased to hear rocky's announcement of my measurements; i've lost four inches off of my waist.
- as the ferguson weathered tartan is only available from lochcarron, i am spared the decision of which mill to choose from.
- i can now put twice the nail biting and wringing of hands into laboring over the pleating decision...
- amazed at how many kiltwearers who otherwise looked neat and proud still insisted on wearing their kilts WELL below the knee. noticing things like that make me even more conscious of how i was put together and i felt almost silly wearing a smart, short sleeved shirt for the heat of the day...
- mixed "celtic" festivals are a true visual hazard: you run the spectrum from really well put together traditionalists to your knuckleheads running about in a red sox hat and a "kiss me, i'm sh!tfaced" tshirt...
