Kentucky Tartan/Kilt - Need One - Want One

[Brave Liver]

from your friendly local Poor, Starving Liberal Arts Student!

I thank you from the bottom of my also empty wallet...

From your local, non profit employee :-)

That's the band that's nice enough to have my clumsy fingers along while I'm learning the pipes. I've had some others ask about when they might be reordering and asked around. When I hear that they might I'll raise the flag here and PM those that I can.

OH that would be GREAT! I have already gotten some "feelers" from people who appear to be sincerely interested, so if I can come up with a handful perhaps we can help push up the order!

A few have even said if they can get the fabric they would rather have the 4-5 yard box pleated style rather than a more formal / heavy band regimental style, so that might help. (am learning as I go here)

Keep me on your "short list" am right up in Florence and in Lexington time to time for work and such.

HAPPY BURNS NIGHT!

Welcome from just up I-75 in Newport, KY!

Thank you!

If you want me to keep you "in the loop" on my Kentucky Tartan quest, let me know, am hoping to generate a mailing list here soon!

Might be hitting the Levee or Hofbrauhaus post Nicholsons tonight...found a kilt close to the KY pattern at the costume gallery, not as nice as I would have liked but can at least be "in the spirit" for Burns night!

Well, I don't know... All my cousins called me "City Slicker" when I was a kid on visits back to the parental homestead. The rest of the family all moved back to Kentucky, and here I am back in the state where I was born (yet not quite a Buckeye).I may stop by sometime, but I'm not sure when, exactly. I'm curious if they will honor their free-pint-with-kilt policy tonight.

Regards,
Rex.

Huh I dont know but if they do definitely going to take them up on it!

Well I can get you a "note" covering you for your Kentucky roots, ha ha

I'd cast a wide net and see if there are any kiltmakers who might have that tartan on hand. Just because I see that they handle the CSA tartan, I'd make an enquiry to Alexis Malcolm as well.

Thank you again, I was on their website and while I did not see it listed I did drop them an email!

Somewhere my father has a certificate declaring him a Kentucky Colonel.

Whatever that means.

It's a pretty cool order; lots of very famous and philanthropic people.

First of all, great meeting you last night, had a GREAT time and hope to see yall out again soon.

Secondly the Kentucky Colonel is an "honorary title" that comes from the Governor and Secretary of State, used to be kind of a big deal, but really its not anymore, hell I am one, so how elite could it possibly be?? ha ha

I actually know the Scty. of State (he is from here in Boone County) if you want to be a Colonel, can hook ya up, then you can get a KY Kilt!

Hello and From a cloudy and chilly St. Louis, Mo.

Thank you so much (from a just as cloudy, and probably just as chilly) Florence Kentucky!

For the record, love St. Louis, been down a couple times once for work and another for NCAA tourney few years ago. Definitely want to get back to check out the new ball field (when the Reds suck...as the are often to do, I pull for the Cardinals)
