My new kilt...

When someone gets a traditional kilt, especially one that looks as nice as that one, it's well worth the wait. It is a lovely looking kilt.

I have been searching for a post where you might have mentioned the sporran. Did you order that somewhere or did you make it? It's quite nice.

Now this quite simply isn't fair.

Just when I think I know what I want my first tartan to be, you post this! PLUS that rather unique sporran! (grumblegrumblegrumble)

Seriously, that is a beautiful tartan - and you wear it well!

Again...thanks!

The sporran is from...http://www.leathersporran.co.uk/default.htm

Robin:

Thank you very much for the link. I am ordering one in black.

Wow! you move fast!

Congrats!

Maybe send them an email and ask for a strap instead of a chain...

You just can't beat the look and swing of a traditional heavyweight. I always figured 12 weeks of waiting was about average for a handmade traditional. Consider it a work of art that you can wear!

That is a very nice tartan, with nice colors. I still need to order one of those sporrans.

My first heavyweight kilt I ordered from an outfit that took 56 weeks to get it to me, I never went back there to buy anything. Their excuse was that they get their kilts from the finest kiltmakers in all of Scotland but I've gotten other kilts in 8 weeks that were just as good in quality.
