    Thumbs up

    I've got the black one too - for the price it's great, nice and warm too.
    Got mine from a company based in Birmingham.

    From the picture, it looks like you got a lot of kilt for the price. I own a couple of inexpensive light weight kilts and found they offer some versatility in that department. Judging from the photo, it looks like the weather man is being gentle on you. (It was -16c here overnight.)

    Lightweight Mercy Kilt

    Definitely a good buy; wearing it again today. I'm finding it very comfortable to wear. Been to the supermarket and left the car there while I walked all the way along the main street to the post office, met lots of people I knew. As others have said it is surprisingly warm for such a lightweight garment. The weather here is colder today and I needed to wear a wool pullover on top of my tee shirt. One old gentleman asked me why I was wearing a kilt with no tartan and I told him it was a modern lightweight casual kilt and showed him that it only has about half the number of pleats of a proper Scottish kilt. He said it looked very appropriate. They seem to be selling well on e-bay and you can also get them from Kate's Clothing of Birmingham, who also offer PVC kilts for those who would prefer that to the polyester, so hopefully we will see more of them around.

    I got mine on ebay through this guy,

    http://stores.ebay.co.uk/fredonline321

    And he has multiple styles available from solid black to pinstripe to Royal Stewart and more....

    He's very quick on the shipping as well and getting them from the UK has taken less than a week.

    No offence, but when taking a piccie you might try to set it up a bit,
    the fence in the foreground tends to dominate, whereas YOU are the subject.

    If you are taking the piccie yourself and have less control over the composition, then look at image software that will allow you to crop the image. (www.cerious.com)

    Buy a simple book on photography and composition and you'll soon take wonderful digital piccies that show off the kilt so well.
    Hope you don't mind me saying so.

    I was thinking the very same thing.
