    Pictures of endless kilts will probably people turn off pretty quickly but I will dig out some of the more unusual and interesting projects.

    A pair of match Drummonds - the ultimate his and hers



    A stole in Wilsons' Priest tartan made for a clergyman in the US



    The late Bill Johnson in his Lochwood Check. Wonder what happened to that? I reall like the whole outfit and it would fit me

    You know where we are?
    Too many Kilts?
    Really?

    Keep them coming, they look great.

    And some more....

    Robertson with the white line in silk. This was a technique that Wilsons perfected where silk was used, mostly for white and yellow, in some of their tartans. Not something that a commercial weaver will do today because of the difference in the way silk and wool react during the finishing process.



    MacNeil (Red line). An outfit made by Bob Martin (and others - the jacket?) for a museum in, I think N. Carolina.



    Selvedge Pattern from a reconstruction of a plaid from Nova Scotia - discussed here. Note the traditional method of turning the ends and also the herringboning.
