    Presenting : The Double Box Tweed "Bunker"

    We all know that a 'TANK' is defined as an eight-yard, wool, hand-sewn, traditional kilt. ie., "It's built like a tank." (coined by Jimmy Carbomb c.2005).

    My Lady Chrystel was happy to show her light tweed kilt outfit a few weeks ago. Now she is proud to present the "BUNKER" ! her latest Double box Pleated tweed kilt.

    This is a 6 yard, 22oz tweed kilt. Water proof, wind proof, (bullet proof ? ), so heavy that we gave it this name : the "bunker".

    The swish is dramatically sensuous, voluptuous.

    It will probably be the only one of it's kind for it takes twice as much time to built compared to a "normal" DBPK.

    Ideal for winter, it will keep me toasty when it really gets cold out here.

    The "Bunker" !



    Well... back to work !


    Best,

    Tweed is IDEAL for outdoors activity. in Great Britain, farmers wear tweed for outdoor work . You can hunt and sport around in tweed.

    It's five times cheaper than tartan !
