Finally did it

[GMan]

Bubba,

When I first read the topic what crossed my mind was the that you finally gave up kilt wearing. Forgive me on that lapse of cognitive thinking. However with that being said, CONGRATULATIONS on your new kilt!!!

Bubba, great to hear. Did you get the 23" or did he find one shorter?
Pics! And let me know how you like it, I am about ready to take the plunge.

Bubba Bubba Bubba...thanks for taking the plunge...Puleeze let us know about it.

Cameron is my 3 great grandmother's line, she came to Nova Scotia from Skye and wanted to honor her but not sure I could get that military style up over my Buddha belly...

Jerry's cool to work with.

I measured carefully and got the 24. Remember, these are military kilts and have a higher rise. Also, only the Black Watch comes in a 23 inch length. All the others start at 24, which for me is just usable. I wouldn't get a 24 in a civilian kilt.

The Cameron kilt from What Price Glory came today. Let me tell ya, you ain't gonna want to strap THAT baby on in warm weather. That beast is HEAVY. It's well and solidly made and the buckles are two prong rather than one, probably to spread the load. If you want a kilt for cold weather you can't do better, it'll be great around these parts. Wisconsin gets a might chilly in the winter season. ;) The rise is higher than usual, but that's normal for a military cut kilt and will take some getting used to. I'll post a pic when I get one. All I can say is it's well worth the money.

Looking forward to seeing that one, Bubba

A Great Day Bubba!

I came sooooo close to ordering one myself...still near the top of my bottemless wish list.

Can you say something about the fabric please? Read somewhere that the military kilts were more of a blanket type wool than the wool on the other hand sewns. Really wanna know when you get time.

Thanks.

Ron

[bubba]

Yup Ron, it is closer to blanket material but finer weave and heavy. It's a very tight weave.

[Riverkilt]

Thanks Bubba,

One last question; (Hah!!) Is the tartan pattern actually woven into the material rather than printed...? I know that sounds dumb, just wanna be sure.

Thanks,
Ron
