    Here you go:
    This is my Robertson Red. It's my 16 oz. I got it used (worn only in store by a salesman) at the Celtic Craft Centre in Edinburgh. It is my second kilt. Was tailored for a bigger guy, but they did a really nice job at taking in the buckles and cut me a great deal on it.



    This is my Roberson Modern Hunting. It's 13 oz. It's my only one that was tailored for me. However, I got married and gained about an inch in the waist between the time I ordered and received it. Still, there was enough room to move the buckles out and I don't notice it at all. Only bad thing was waiting 6 months to receive it. I never got a straight answer from the merchant as to why it took so long, and I seriously doubt I'll do business with "House of Scotland" again. But it really came out beautifully nonetheless.



    This is my Robertson Ancient Hunting. It's 11 oz. It was my first kilt. I got it second hand from Hector Russell in Edinburgh, and was the one I wore in my wedding. It's a bit longer than I'd like, but I didn't know that at the time I got it. It's been hemmed once, but I may have it re-hemmed sometime. Also, pay no attention to the strange florescent green patch. It's not really there, just a weird trick of the camera and maybe a patch of sunlight coming through the blinds.
