Kilted Evolution, Part sixteen thousand and three

[turpin]

I am in full agreement, and am anxiously awaiting my box from Matt to get a sens of the difference. I have 2 handsewn 16-oz 8-yarders and 2 13 oz, plus 2 SWK woolies, one std, a cotton canvas 8 yard and a UK Mocker. All get worn, some more than others. My journey branched toward "maybe I'll try to sew my own by hand" until Barb's book said as how if you're a lefty, forget it. Maybe with box pleats it doesn't matter, in whihc case I may get even more busy this year.

It seems since I started kilting life has just been more fun than before. The camaraderie here, the folks I've met in person because of it, and the increased self-confidence that comes with throwing caution to the winds and putting myself out there for whatever reactions there may be. People around me smile more, open up and talk. My daughter has just dug the he77 out of it and we've become really close. - It's just all good

Kid, I think the USA PV kilts are the perfect garment for our enviroment down here in the coastal plains (fever swamp). Although after seeing your 13oz Leatherneck, I think a 5 yard 13oz wool from Rocky will be my next kilt, most likely in the Texas tartan.

Makes sense to me too.

Just know that when you do get that first 16oz strome hand sewn traditional kilt you will be come most addicted to the beauty and the swing of it...leading you to buy more...

Ron I'm trying hard not to think about it, but Matt's making me up a 16 ounce MacLachlan that he had on special. Not a eight yarder, but still . . . now I'm going to have to go back to not thinking about it some more!

I'm a sucker for Rocky and Kelly's work. Let's see: Farquharson, Army, Ramsay, Leatherneck, and the wife's Warrior mini. Quick work, quality work, value pricing, and you're bang on regarding PV for our heat and humidity. If the Farquharson hadn't picked up a burn hole in the apron it would get even more "going out" time. (The sporran covers it, but I still know it's there.)

I sure wish the Houston games had been in May, say, instead of March---even the 5/13 was beginning to get warm that day!

Yah, the whole world is prejudiced against lefties! I think you're going to really enjoy the box pleat

Isn't it amazing how much FUN kilting is? It's almost ridiculous what a difference a few yards of wool wrapping can make. I know I carry myself differently kilted, and I know people react differently to me kilted. Sometimes it feels like I'm doing the world a favor, just by wearing a kilt! All good INDEED!
