    Jimmy's not kidding, he's ruined me for life by talking me into getting my traditional!

    Seriously, I thought I'd only wear my traditional now and then for nicer functions, but I wear it all the time. Admittedly, my casual hasn't seen much playing time since the traditional appeared at the house. I wonder if it feels any sibling rivalry?

    Love to hear what your thoughts are on workmanship and wearability when you get it.

    I could be tempted for our Tassie winter.

    Cheers

    Rob, you're already talking about your third kilt!!!

    Last winter I wore a thick woolen kilt a lot, I bought it second hand from St Andrews Pipe Band (L/ton). It was Tassie-woven, very coarse (they call them the old horse blankets) but lovely to wear in really cold weather.

    This kilt from All Things Tartan is only 13oz, it remains to be seen how warm it will be.
    But of course, OUR thoughts are with summer weather, unlike our poor brethren in the US and UK who are suffering winter now

    The kilt should be here today!!
