Evolution of a Kiltie - Changing Tastes

[Riverkilt]

I'm guessing sooner or later we all LUST after wool kilts. I can now remember first seeing wool kilts in a different light. It was a Leatherneck tartan at a Highland Games...it was beautiful the way the pleats and subtle colors played in the light and gentle breeze blowing.

Of course, if a person's gonna lay out the big bucks for a hand sewn strome kilt it makes sense to have the tartan be something meaningful for that person.

Gotta be an inevitable progression...happening at different speeds for different folks....but inevitable. Hand sewn wool kilts are just too beautiful not to covet, lust after, scheme to acquire.....and include in our wills.

Of all my non patterned kilts I think the black is the most outstanding, I have an almost 8 yard ( I miscalculated ) peached cotton, and the fabric for a wool one is awaiting my attention.

The cold weather here is giving me an excuse to continue to wear dark clothes, but I will eventually have to put them away as the temperatures rise.

I tend to wear black or navy blue with various colours in the Winter and white with various colours in the Summer, and there is usually a period of black with white during the Spring and colour with colour in the Autumn, as long as the seasons turn as they normally do.

For those of us who started with that, though, it doesn't make for much of a progression.

Of course, I'm happy with tanks.
