    Not bad. You should consider having a sport coat altered into a kilt jacket, though. Our own Alan H. created a website to show you how. Or, for a few bucks, a tailor or seamstress could do it for you.

    Gotta show off the kilt!

    Incidently, you look great. MacDonald is a very nice tartan.

    Happy Easter!

    Took my 85 year old mother out for Easter brunch at Wahweap Marina on Lake Powell. This was my Easter outfit.



    Got a LOT of compliments. The buffet is a big deal locally so saw a lot of friends. A doc from the emergency room said she loved my kilt. A guy asked about what clan the tartan was, and best of all a guy who seemed to be in his late 20's said the kilt really looked good...that was unexpected....even if true.

    For those who haven't been tracking its the Cameron Black and Red from the House of Edgar's Old and Rare collection sewn up by Kathy Lare of Kathy's Kilts.

    Don't mean to steal the thread...seems to be a Macdonald theme to it. It was my 3 great grandmother Catherine Cameron who was married up to my 3 great grandfather John Macdonald when they were swept up in the clearances and shipped over to Nova Scotia.

    I'm going to do that ASAP but I'm still trying to lose some weight. I've dropped from about 285 to 245 over the last 6 or 7 months and I'd really like to get rid of some more belly before going into a kilt jacket.

    When I bought this from Scotwebstore it was officially listed as MacDonald Modern (16 oz). There are also about 75 other MacDonalds listed but this is what I found linked to the Kelly's of Ireland. Seemed to be the most appropriate one and I thought it looked nice.

    P.s. Looks nice RiverKilt. I've got enough red and my next will probably be branching out into the blues. Maybe an xmarks if the next run becomes available to those of us not involved in the first run.
