I think you look great, and that kilt is a blinkin' treasure.

I, too, like your outfit. Love the kilt. That Isle of Syke tartan is moving up my must have list

With my first DIY kilt jacket

Not too sure about the green hose, but they seemed OK this morning.

DIY jacket? wow, I am impressed.

Did you make it from scratch or convert a sports jacket?

In either case it's very well done.

Very nice kilt & Jacket & hose are a good match--I not a lover of mask sporrons either--Sorry

Hose looks fine, and co-ordinates nicely with the roll neck and jacket. Great outfit!

And it came to pass that after 10 months, his thread rose from the dead, to rekindle the longing in his fellows for membership in the BOIOS. And yea, MacHummel made it affordable for all.

Gilmore - It was a conversion of a $5 jacket, partly by hand, partly machine. Looks OK from a distance, but I sort of hashed up the lining, figuring "who's going to see it?", then over-pressed the right side at the cutaway. You can see the shininess. Maybe a wire brush will get rid of it? . I have three more waiting, but am a bit busy sewing leather to have product at the Loch Hartwell games. I'm sharing a vendors tent with Cavscout. Hope you can make it.
