It's finally here!!! (part I)

This is my very first 8-yard traditional, in the earthy Fitzsimmons tartan, from Tartankilts.com (House of Edgar). The colors are a tiny bit off in most of the pics except the very last one (next post) which is fairly accurate. And now, the pics:

Still in the box:

Two pair of flashes:



Front apron



In the above photo you can still see the tack, which I haven't taken out yet. See next post for more pics.

Well, that's all the pics for now. I ordered this kilt specifically for my upcoming wedding but believe me, I will do some 'posing' this weekend and will post pics over at the Kilted photo Gallery (maybe a pic or two here as well). Thanks!

Very nice. I've been eyeing a few of the earthier toned kilts lately myself. Enjoy.

That must be a great feeling to have the result of all your hard work in your hands (or wrapped around you as the case may be).

Very nice!
