    Wow! Obviously they are in stock and ready to ship. What is your impression of the kilt? it looks as thought the inside of the pleats has not been cut out, is that the case?

    My impression of the kilt is very favourable and I have now dug my tripod out so I could take some pictures of me wearing it. I am not sure what you mean about the "inside of the pleats not being cut out" - the pleats are pretty normal and I can verify that they swish nicely!

    The only problem I really have with it is the nomenclature of the tartan which is marketed as a MacMillan with various other bits like "black", "hunting" modern" tacked on when it has not been recognised by the Clan Chief. That is the case with various suppliers offering this sett who may well be unaware that this is the case. If it is registered at the STA at all it is certainly not there as a MacMillan.

    If their other off the peg tartans are of the same quality then they are extremely good value for money.

    McClef, Chef is asking whether the pleats have been cut out above the fell. (i.e. under the lining.)

    Oh now I understand! Yes they are cut out above the fell also!
