A first kilt

[keith_b]

That's the first time I've seen a Sport Kilt in "action". I was torn over whether or not to get one. I was eyeing up the MacGregor tartan option as well. The SK looks much better than I thought. You've made up my mind, I'm going to order one!

Hey where's this thread been hiding - I haven't seen these pics before.

That was my first foray---it was just bumped by an auld friend. I guess my post must have turned up in Google. "Old fife" and I were out of touch and have been mutually searching from time to time!

I was eyeing up the MacGregor tartan option as well. The SK looks much better than I thought. You've made up my mind, I'm going to order one!

Everything that is said about the SK is true---the good and the bad. I had 3 kilts on order, of which that was the first to arrive. I wear it around the house and yard constantly, and occasionally out. I suspect you'll love it in the summer.

I ordered it specifically to get the MacGregor tartan. Since then, I've got a belted plaid in Celtic Croft's homespun MacGregor, which I like quite a lot for that purpose. I'm not sure how good it'd be in a regular knife pleat, but I may get some more yardage to try it after I have a couple more X-kilts under my belt.

Then Rocky took advance orders for a special run of poly-viscose in MacGregor, which I'm sure will be eagerly awaited in the New Year. So I guess the moral is that good tartans come to those who wait (and have their credit cards handy). I'm thinking one day, a nice 4-yard box pleat in heavy wool will cap it off.
