    Got it and Love it.

    DWFII

    I received the kilt yesterday and love it. It feels great - the pleats are 3.5 inches deep!

    I wore it to a Christmas party last night and I was surrounded by women the entire evening.

    I'll be wearing it tomorrow when I take a lady friend to dinner.



    Thanks,

    Steve

    I'm not sure how it could fit better. I've got room to "grow" and to slim. I can't see the swish but it feels fantastic. Tomorrow evening I'll ask my lady friend to take some more pictures so I can see how it looks from the rear.

    In the picture above I'm wearing red flashes with green hose; a US Army officer's cap device on my glengarry; a Rob Roy sporran; and an embossed black kilt belt with a highland swirl buckle.

    Any idea where I might pick up a pair of garters for the flashes you sent with the kilt?

    And kudos on the packing. It was superb.

    No, I don't. The garters I have are multi-use. They are a simple one inch band of heavy black elastic, 14" long, with velcro closures. The flashes are inter-changeable.

    I thought all commercial garters came like that?

    The flashes I've purchased - two matching tatans from USAKilts and a red set from Things Celtic here in Austin all came on their own adjustable elastic garters with metal closures. I thought they all came that way. I'll make some out elastic & Velcro.

    The flashes you sent have a larger opening than the three sets of flashes I'd purchased and so are a lot easier to put on or remove from the garters.
