Many thanks for your reply. I must admit, your white kilt is perfect.
I'll visit Geoffrey (Tailor) when I go home in October (family in Stirling). Should be able to get it ordered and made for start of the 2007 bowls season.
Regards
Jim

Hey Tartanjaz,
Thats a most angelic white kilt Ham has. Looks perfect.
Its ALL wrong for what you asked, and they don't make it anymore, but the old natural white Utilikilts Workman's would have made a nice "warmup" kilt or practice kilt. Would probably need to be bleached a bit whiter than it comes.
I believe Ham has one in his collection too.

Thanks Ron,
Yes Indeed I do have a white Workman's Utilikilt (now with some leeching from the dye in the brown leather straps, but still wearable!), and I love it to bits!
Here's a piccie of me wearing it in HM The Queen's back garden at Buckingham Palace three years ago:
I agree, if it were still available, it probably would require some bleaching to meet with EBA regulations. Mine was/is rather more cream than white.

the palace
Being invited to the palace is one thing,
but being invited alone -- wow, Ham; you're even more famous than we thought!
