    Kilt No.64 has arrived!

    At the weekend, I was presented with Kilt No.64 as a totally unexpected 70th Birthday gift. It is a 6 yarder tailored in an unusual fine-denim fabric, and is brown with a yellow/gold pinstripe running through it.

    Unfortunately, I am still unable to do anything with my photos - resizing, cropping, colour adjustment, etc. - but I thought you might be interested to have a look at a couple of raw photos straight from the camera. The colour registration is almost spot-on in the first image.

    The first shows the kilt worn casually (and no, it is not split to the waist - that's the double fringe!), and in the second I am wearing it dressed a little more formally with a brown tweed Argyll and brown woollen tie:

    Yet another splendid kilt for your Kollection, Hamish. Did it come from TFCK?

    You don't want to know, Rob! You really do not want to know!

    On the other hand, maybe the measurements were already available!!

    I am really not at liberty to mention the donor by name, Alex, but if you do a little detective work............

    Hamish

    I am not a great fan of some non-traditional fabric and kilts, but I must say...your new kilt looks superb.
    May you have good health to wear and enjoy it.
    Regards
    Jim
