Excited!

This is one of those 'throw away' posts but I just have to say I am soooo excited to be riding down to see Rocky at USA Kilts tomorrow.

I also ordered a sporran from Tom.

Wasn't sure I would sleep tonight then the wife brought me a rather generous Grand Marnier and said "I think you'll look great in a kilt at the walk (we are crew at the Avon Walk in DC next weekend). Hopefully Rocky has an off the peg kilt that will fit.

Pictures will follow

Good luck with your adventure.

I wouldn't call it a "throw away". You should be excited about going to Rocky's store. I would be, and would want to tell everybody about it, too. And, you ordered a sporran from Tom (Hay?). Great! You must have robbed a bank.

Good for you. Have a great trip and have LOTS of fun at USA Kilts. Can't wait to see the pics.

I thought we agreed you wouldn't mention the bank job

Leaving the house in 15 minutes; top box on the bike for the proceeds of my ill gotten gains.

I'll check back in when I can.

Nice meeting you today, Moggi. Hope you enjoy the kilt and had a safe trip home! Beautiful day for a ride.

Well now we know that you have a kilt from Rocky. Pictures must soon follow. I can tell you that Rocky's kilts just will not die. I have one in the American Heritage tartan that is in everyday wear and it is still going like new.

Cheers

My go-to kilt is from Rocky's place and it is outstanding. I plan to order more from him in the future.
Also, if you ordered an A-Hay! sporran you will not be disapointed.

Well it was great to meet Rocky and see the huge expanse of tartan he has (as well as multiple other items that would keep any kilt wearer happy). It was also a great day to ride to his place.

Sadly Rocky didn't have a PV tartan off the peg that I wanted (at least, not in my size) though he did show me the Murray Ancient he has in the back room so you can be certain I will be having one of those made. Luckily, he had a 13oz wool in Scottish National that fit me and required no alteration. I couldn't tell you if it is a 5 yard or an 8 yard though it seems weighty indeed. Perhaps Rocky can chime in?

I also picked up a simple black day sporran and some hose. I have a busy day ahead of me so may not get a chance to get pictures today but if I can I will wear the kilt to my sons rugby practice and grab a picture afterwards.

Shopping at USA Kilts store was an experience I would recommend to anyone who is within driving/riding distance; just expect to leave happy and with a lighter wallet

I will be visiting Rocky on Friday to pick up a PC vest and jacket. I have never been able to walk out of their empty handed, despite my best intentions. Oh ,the dangers of only living an hours from USA Kilts!
I am taking a kilt newbie friend of mine who is hoping to get his first "real" kilt. He is going through a cancer scare so he is getting a kilt to either celebrate good news or to cushion the blow of bad news.

He'll have a great time and I'll keep my fingers crossed on the cancer side of things. I just entered my 6th year after testicular cancer cost me one of my boys and staying positive helps a lot.

Best thing is, Rocky doesn't even have to eek your money out of your wallet, it simply seems attracted to him and parts from you of its own free will ;)
