THANKS, HAMISH!

Well, it is a beauty!

I am SO seriously envious of you talented guys who can do such things.

Like I said to Hamish-> I made it.

In fact, it is part of the "fabric trade" with Barb (to get the material for her future son-in-law's wedding kilt).
As for "orders," I am NOT taking any at this time. IF things change, I'll let everyone know. Right now, I am SO busy that my "wait" per kilt is REAL irregular. I have finished some in a couple day (start to finish), while others have taken 4 months or more. I need to get FAR more dependable and able to regularly finish them BEFORE I want to make some for anyone else.

I'd advise to go to Matt and ask him. He is FAR faster than I.

Those pictures show one swinging of a good looking Kilt. Of course the kids are precious.

Great pictures, MacWage! Love the Wallace box pleat!

PS Isn't Charleston the city where the War of Northern Aggression began?

Just kidding!

It is also the last place that Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenge saw action before it ran aground near Beaufort, North Carolina.
Sullivan's plays a significant roll in much of the city's history.

Yeah, and there was a good bit of other history there too.
Charleston was one of the major Colonial/US cities, along with Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and the like for much of the 18th, and 19th centuries.

Chortle! The accepted usage is "the recent unpleasantness."

MacWage, great pics! Not to hijack too much, but have you ever been to "The Queen Annes Revenge"? It's a restaurant waaay down below Wanchese, NC (just outside of Manteo). They have an excellent bouillabaise, and everything else is tasty too!

Back to the outfit, are those Converse hitops on your feet?

By the way-> the picts are best viewed when DRUNK and lying on the floor!

Just as well you said so, and McMurdo spun them - thought it was my computer going funny.
Lovely pics.
Precious moments with your kids pass too quickly.

There is one on Daniel's Island in Charleston (not far, in fact, from Sullivan's). Hank may know it well, as he works on Daniel's Island. I have a T-shirt from it that I wear frequently with my Carolina tartan kilt.
The restaurant is also a museum that has a good collection of genuine pirate-era artifacts. It is REALLY cool.
One of these days . . . I WILL get to Beaufort, NC, to see the museum about the REAL ship.
(Side note-> our van is named "Queen Anna's Revenge" by my wife Anna.)
