Sounds awsome.
Can't wait to see the pics.

Congrats on the new kilt. I know what you mean about the traditional fit. My first kilt was a Utilikilt.It's the only one I have that wears low on the hips.I like the traditional fit far more.

The weight is something isn't it? It was the first thing I noticed when trying on a Black Watch kilt for my buddy's wedding. I think you'll also appreciate the difference in the movement (swish) of the pleats as you walk compared to a PV kilt.

That's great! I sense you have become one of the converted!
There is nothing quite like that first test drive, eh?!

I am puzzled however...

How did you get an 8yd handsewn in such a short time?

I was going to ask that myself, but decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth. From what I can gather they had extra staff on through the past few weekedns to meet the Christmas rush.

My job is not to ask, but rather to enjoy

Congratulations, Colin! Can't wait for the pics.

Enjoy it Colin, as I know that you already are. It sounds wonderful that everything worked out well for you, so CONGRATULATIONS.

Carry on then! I'm glad you're groovin' to the 16oz tartan beat: just as some people will only have full weight, full length tartan kilts, there are some people who can't see the value in a traditional and will never own one.

Bryan...it appears that you're like most of us-somewhere (happily) in the middle...congrats...

Colin, I love the tartan, so colourful!! and such service! I'm sure you'll love wearing the kilt higher, I don't know how anyone finds hipster kilts comfortable personally, guess I'm old fashioned.

The kilt will be nice and warm since you're all in winter.

Congratulations. That is a beautiful tartan. I know what you mean about that traditional high on the waist feel. In my case it's low on the waist SportKilts with belt loops and sewn down pleats vs high on the waist Stillwater Standards and Heavyweights. There is an extra special feeling with the high on the waist design. I would have to say I like the traditional design the best.
